The humanoid robot from Honor, a Chinese smartphone maker, won the half-marathon race for robots in Beijing, completing the 21-kilometer race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds.
The robot's time surpassed the human record of 57 minutes, held by Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo.
It was also a significant improvement over last year's robot race winner, which took more than 2 hours and 40 minutes to finish.
Officials say about 40% of the robots in the race were autonomous, while the rest were remote-controlled.
