SLICES: Bipedal Robots Beat Humans in Half-Marathon
Is anyone else terrified? We are.
For the first time ever, autonomous robots beat humans at humanity’s signature ability—long-distance endurance running. Bi-pedal buckets of bolts bested people at the Beijing E-Town Robot Half Marathon.
Can the robopocalypse be far behind?
Listen in to see why this milestone is far more than the sum of the robotic parts.
