Summary Report
Unitree's experimental Superman robot claims a 2m standing jump and 12.6 m/s top speed, both beating human records, after just three months of development.
- 01. That top speed edges out Usain Bolt's peak speed during his 100-metre world record in 2009, on a robot with legs under a metre long
- 02. Unitree frames it as experimental, built to study highly dynamic movement rather than as a finished product
Unitree has previewed a new experimental robot nicknamed Superman, claiming a two-metre standing high jump and a top running speed of 12.6 metres per second - beating the human standing jump record and edging out Usain Bolt's peak sprint speed, after only three months of development.
