During the 2026 2nd World Humanoid Robotics Games, a video capturing the 100-meter sprint performance of Honor’s humanoid robot, ‘Lightning,’ went viral after being retweeted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk commented that ‘Lightning’ completed the 100-meter dash in a remarkable 9.32 seconds, outpacing Usain Bolt’s previous world record of 9.58 seconds. He also noted that, upon crossing the finish line, ‘Lightning’ collided with the safety barrier at full speed. Impressively, its waist structure remained unscathed, with no signs of damage or sparks.
