Chinese Company Unveils 'Superman' Robot Faster than Usain Bolt
Unitree said the robot was built in just over three months and is still a work in progress.
- On Monday, Unitree unveiled 'Superman,' a humanoid robot capable of a two-meter standing jump and reaching a top speed of 12.66 meters per second, roughly 28.3 miles per hour.
- Developed in just over three months, the robot remains a work in progress as Unitree prepares to begin trading on Shanghai's STAR Market after raising 6.1 billion yuan in an initial public offering last week.
- Beijing will host the World Robot Conference starting Wednesday through August 23, followed by the World Humanoid Robot Games, where Unitree won four gold medals at last year's inaugural event.
- China announced a state-backed venture capital fund last year aimed at attracting 1 trillion yuan in public and private investment for robotics and AI startups over the next 20 years.
- Tesla and Boston Dynamics have urged lawmakers to develop a national robotics strategy, while the FCC moved to ban imports of foreign-made humanoid robots last month over cybersecurity concerns.
