China’s humanoid robot Tiangong has made headlines after setting a new 400-metre record at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on August 23.

Tiangong Completes 400 Metres in 38.15 Seconds

Tiangong completed the 400-metre race in just 38.15 seconds, marking a major achievement in humanoid robotics. The performance also surpassed the men’s human 400-metre world record of 43.03 seconds. That human record was set by South African sprinter Wayde van Niekerk at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Tiangong’s faster time highlights the increasing capabilities of robots in high-speed movement and athletic tasks.

China Advances in Robot Technology

The result demonstrates China’s rapid progress in robotics technology, particularly in areas such as balance, coordination and motion control. Developing humanoid robots capable of running at high speeds requires advanced mechanical systems, software and precise movement management. The achievement at the Beijing event has further highlighted the growing role of AI robots and humanoid machines in technology research and competitive demonstrations.
