"Lightning, the winning bot developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor, not only beat the best human that day but smashed the world record, set only last month."
"The robot completed the 13.1-mile (21 km) course in a blistering 50 minutes and 26 seconds, far faster than the 57 minutes and 20 seconds record set by Ugandan runner Jacob Kiplimo."
"Honor, a Huawei spin-off company, bagged all three podium spots with self-navigating robots - all of which posted world-record-breaking times."
"Xioadi Du, an engineer from Honor's winning team, said that the record-breaking bot had been developed intensively over the last year."
In a remarkable turnaround from last year's event, over 100 robots competed in a marathon, with the winning robot, Lightning, completing the course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. This time shattered the previous human record and was significantly faster than last year's winning robot. Nearly half of the robots raced autonomously, showcasing advancements in technology. Despite some failures, the overall performance of the robots demonstrated significant improvements, with all podium spots claimed by self-navigating robots from Honor.
