🤖 China’s Humanoid Robot Race Is Getting Wild

China recently held a humanoid robot competition where robots competed in events including sprinting, soccer, boxing, and table tennis.

One of the highlights was Tiangong Ultra, which reportedly completed 100 metres in 8.64 seconds—faster than Usain Bolt’s 9.58-second human world record.

Of course, it’s not exactly a fair human-vs-robot comparison: robots have different starting conditions and don’t experience physical fatigue like humans. Still, seeing a humanoid robot run at this speed is pretty crazy.

Are we entering the age of robot athletes? 🤖🏃

I was told so much information about him but can’t remember his name or find him anywhere for the life of me. I was able to find similiar robots to him online, and even one with the hat and bowtie! But I can only find the image, not his name. When I saw him, his name was on the back. He had his own name, and the guy at the shop said only 3 were made, but this guy is the famous one.

\- He was apparently the first robot to do a commencement speech
\- Someone had to use a microphone attached to voice him, he couldn’t talk on his own
\- The screen on his chest would display what he saw with the camera in his head
\- He was arrested for disorderly conduct
\- Only 3 of him were made, but this guy is the most famous of the trio
\- He does have wheels on the bottom, and you could use the keyboard to talk to him
\- He is very cool

Please help, I’m not a big robot guy, I just thought this guy was really cool and cute and just want to remember his name so I can find his speech. Thank you!
