China is basically turning sci-fi into reality with this humanoid robot half-marathon! Last year was mostly remote control, but now 40% are running fully autonomous. Imagine the Tiangong Ultra sprinting at 14km/h using just its own sensors, that’s wild. Even though some still crash into railings or look a bit jerky in training, the tech leap is insane. China is absolutely crushing the market right now, owning 80% of global installations compared to just 5% for Tesla. Sure, they aren't beating elite human runners yet (2h 40m vs human pros), but the gap is closing fast. We’re witnessing the birth of a new era where machines don't just walk; they compete. Is it scary or cool? I’m leaning towards cool, but those fail videos of them falling over are a reminder that we’re still in the toddler phase of robotics. 🤖👟 #tech #innovation #future https://thoxt.com/l/9mMS4e 🔗
