A four-legged robot nicknamed Black Panther reached 10.3 metres per second during a televised competition in China on 7 July, setting a new world record for quadruped machines and matching the pace of elite human sprinters. The robot was co-developed by Zhejiang University and an unnamed Hangzhou start-up. It completes about five strides per second, eclipsing the previous benchmark established by Boston Dynamics’ WildCat. Chinese state media described the feat as a significant milestone for the country’s fast-growing robotics sector and evidence of intensifying global competition in high-speed legged locomotion.
