Cassie sets world record for 100M run

Sep 27, 2022

Cassie, the robot, clocked the historic time of 24.73 seconds at the Whyte Track and Field Center, starting from a standing position and returning to that position after the sprint, with no falls. This incredible achievement was accomplished through robot learning and almost a year of simulation, condensed down to a matter of weeks.

Cassie was invented at the Oregon State University College of Engineering and produced by Agility Robotics. Through this work Cassie has established a Guinness World Record for the fastest 100 meters by a bipedal robot.

Humanoid Robot ‘Lightning’ Breaks World Record For A Half-marathon

Apr 19, 2026

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.
