Abstract
TechnologyThis robot is laid flat on its chest after taking a tumble during the 100-metre sprint at the first World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, China. The winning machine completed the race in 21.50 seconds – a far cry from the human world record of 9.58 seconds, set by Usain Bolt in 2009. The games, which saw 280 teams from 16 countries signing up to compete, took place from 15 to 17 August.PHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
