Chinese humanoid robot 'Flash' targets 100m world record#coolchina

Chinese smart device maker Honor is putting its humanoid robot "Flash" through sprint training ahead of the second World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing. The company says its goal is to break the human 100-meter world record, with the robot clocking about 10 seconds in testing. The men's world record stands at 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaica's Usain Bolt in 2009.

"Flash" won a humanoid robot half-marathon in Beijing in April, completing the 21.0975-kilometer course autonomously in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, faster than the human record. Engineers have since lengthened its legs by 10 centimeters and introduced lighter materials to improve its stride and speed.
