Robots have outpaced human runners at this year’s Beijing half-marathon, finishing more than 10 minutes ahead of the top human competitors. The machines ran alongside about 12,000 participants on a separate track to avoid collisions. The winning robot, developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor, completed the 13-mile course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, faster than the current human half-marathon world record set by Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon last month. Nearly half of the robots ran autonomously, while others were remotely controlled.
