as i saw someone else say: so? a car would also beat a human’s record. this is apples to oranges, why do we care? it only matters if a human beats a human record. let’s be real.

This achievement highlights significant advancements in robotics, particularly in dynamics and machine learning. The robot likely utilized reinforcement learning for adaptive running strategies, optimizing gait and energy efficiency on-the-fly—capabilities rarely seen in human...

No one here seems to get the point, and I blame the headline. The real story is that it beat last year’s autonomous robot record by more than an hour and a half. The race is a stupid stunt, but it shows the rapid advances being made in this technology.
