Zhejiang University and Shanghai robotics company JingShi Technology announced the launch of Bolt, a full-size humanoid robot that reached a peak running speed of 10 meters per second, which they said is the fastest full-size running robot in the world.
At 175 centimeters tall and weighing 75 kilograms, Bolt clocked speeds that outpace any previously recorded full-size humanoid robot, the developers said. The robot’s name was inspired by sprint legend Usain Bolt.
The achievement builds on the team’s earlier work — a quadruped robot unveiled in January — that exceeded 10 meters per second and set the world record for four-legged running machines.
