Chinese #humanoidrobots showcased their improved #athleticism and #autonomousnavigation skills at a #halfmarathon in #Beijing. The winning robot, developed by #Honour, finished the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record. While the #robots’ performance impressed spectators, experts caution that translating these skills to widespread commercialisation in industrial settings remains a challenge. https://www.reuters.com/sports/humanoid-robots-race-past-humans-beijing-half-marathon-showing-rapid-advances-2026-04-19/?eicker.news #China #Tech #ChinaTech #Technews

52 Weeks, 52 Half Marathons

Today was a hard one, the climbs are brutally steep and my legs were beat up from yesterday. Beautiful weather and route.

Some here in the #Running Bubble may know Frank (@DerEntspannende). At the end of 2024, he narrowly escaped one of the most vicious cancer tumors. Following surgery & chemotherapy, he recovered & today completed his first #halfmarathon since his illness, achieving all his set goals. For every minute he finished under 3 hours, he's donating 2€ to the Cancer Society Rhineland-Palatinate.

People like Frank are my role models. Fate handed him lemons, and he made sweet lemonade out of them.
