Rohan Paul(@rohanpaul_ai):This is bigger than a robot race. History just got rewritten. A humanoid robot from Beijing clocked 9.39s over 100m, faster than Usain Bolt’s 9.58s record from 2009. And this year's 100m was autonomous-only, i.e. the robot itself had to complete the race without human steering.
