Chinese Robot Named Bolt Smashes Records as Fastest Two-Legged Humanoid – Outruns Women’s 100m World Record

A groundbreaking new humanoid robot built by Chinese company MirrorMe Technology has officially become the fastest two-legged running machine ever created, clocking an incredible 10 meters per second.

The robot, aptly named Bolt, can sprint faster than the women’s 100-meter world record of 10.49 seconds set by Florence Griffith-Joyner back in 1988. While it’s still just behind Usain Bolt’s men’s world record of 9.58 seconds from 2009, its performance marks a huge leap forward for robotics.

MirrorMe Technology proudly calls Bolt the fastest running two-legged humanoid robot to date. Last year, their earlier model Black Panther II ran 100 meters in 13.17 seconds on Chinese television—Bolt has clearly taken things to another level.

Standing at 5.7 feet tall and weighing 165 lbs, Bolt was engineered with specially designed joints and a fully optimized power system to mimic natural human running mechanics while pushing extreme speeds. Developers say the goal wasn’t just to build the world’s fastest robot, but to create what they call “super-species robots”—machines that can match or even exceed human athletic capabilities through advanced motion perception, dynamic balance, and high-performance drive systems.

In footage of the robot in action, Bolt takes shorter strides than the institute head Wang Hongtao but makes up for it with a much faster step cadence, giving it that explosive, relentless pace.

MirrorMe Technology was founded in May 2024 and is based in Shanghai, with its core team coming from Zhejiang University. The company says Bolt’s debut represents a major breakthrough in humanoid locomotion control, balance at high speeds, and power delivery.
