On August 17, Utree Technology released a 30-second demonstration video of its 'Superman' robot, showcasing remarkable athletic capabilities. The robot achieved a maximum running speed of 12.66 meters per second (approximately 45.65 kilometers per hour), surpassing Usain Bolt's peak speed of 12.42 meters per second during his world record 100-meter sprint. This performance indicates that 'Superman' exceeds human records in both running and jumping despite having significantly shorter legs.
The rapid development of 'Superman' is noteworthy, with Utree Technology Chairman Wang Xingxing revealing that the robot was conceived and showcased in just over three months. The company has stated that the current version of 'Superman' is not its final form, as there is substantial room for improvement in motion control and stability. The timing of the release coincides with Utree Technology's upcoming listing on the STAR Market, which is interpreted as a strategic move to demonstrate its technological prowess and rapid iteration to potential investors.
However, the impressive capabilities of 'Superman' have raised safety concerns, especially following previous incidents involving Utree's robots during demonstrations. Experts warn that with enhanced physical abilities, any malfunctions could lead to serious consequences. Balancing performance enhancements with safety measures will be a critical challenge for all robotics companies moving forward.
