Feels like "beating human records" is pretty meaningless for things that are... not human. I was intrigued to see what the entry criteria were since these are meant to be humanoid, but couldn't find any real information on it.
Being able to balance and move realistically as a bipedal with speed is quite the feat though.
Yeah just look at how hard QWOP is
Next thing they'll tell us is that motorcycles are faster than people-powered bicycles...
While i largely agree with your point, I'm sure the fact they can run faster than any human is of interest to various militarys.
No. The military already has drones that are far cheaper and faster than these pointless clunkers.
Yeah, like I can already do that with an RC car why cuck it with silly robot legs?
