Chinese startup MirrorMe has just set the track on fire, unveiling footage of its latest humanoid robot clocking a staggering 10 metres per second (roughly 22.4 mph). It’s a feat that doesn’t just nudge the goalposts; it uproots them, leaving the previous record of 3.3 m/s—held by Unitree’s H1—firmly in the rearview mirror. We’re now venturing into the realm of elite human sprinting. In a bid to prove this isn’t just some high-budget CGI wizardry, the company’s founder actually stepped onto the track to race his creation—a move that’s either a masterclass in confidence or a brilliant, high-stakes bid for viral immortality.
