Robot Smashes Human Half-Marathon Record
機器人打破人類半程馬拉松紀錄
A humanoid robot named "Lightning," developed by the Chinese firm Honor, completed the Beijing E-Town half-marathon in an astonishing 50 minutes and 26 seconds.
一家名為「榮耀」(Honor)的中國企業所研發的「閃電」(Lightning)人形機器人，以驚人的50分26秒完成了北京亦莊半程馬拉松。
This performance shattered the current human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds.
這項表現打破了人類57分20秒的世界紀錄。
While a remotely controlled robot finished slightly faster, Lightning secured the championship for its impressive autonomous navigation.
雖然有一台遙控機器人完成的速度稍快，但「閃電」因其卓越的自主導航能力贏得了冠軍。
Standing 169 cm tall, the robot utilizes a liquid-cooling system, similar to that found in modern smartphones, to maintain efficiency.
該機器人身高169公分，為了保持效率，它使用了一種類似於現代智慧型手機中的液態冷卻系統。
The event showcased the rapid evolution of "embodied AI," as at least four robots finished the 21-kilometer course in under an hour—a massive leap from the previous year's event.
此次活動展示了「具身人工智慧」(Embodied AI)的快速演進，至少有四台機器人在一小時內完成了21公里的賽程，與前一年相比，這是一次巨大的飛躍。
Although some robots struggled with stumbles and mechanical failures, the race highlighted major advancements in battery life and structural reliability.
儘管有些機器人在比賽中跌倒或出現機械故障，但這場賽事凸顯了電池續航力與結構可靠性的重大進步。
China has prioritized humanoid robot development, aiming to transition these machines from laboratories into real-world services like healthcare and manufacturing.
中國已將人形機器人研發列為優先事項，目標是讓這些機器人從實驗室轉向醫療保健與製造業等實際服務領域。
