That’s not athleticism, that’s a different sport. I can beat marathon runners too when I use a bicycle.
Yeah even my mountain bike destroys these numbers, let alone a road bike with nice wheels.
So I’m allowed to use my mech legs now at the marathon?
Okay great, but steam engines from the mid 19th century could probably outrun humans too.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Pretty impressive. The ability to operate 13 miles continuously makes un-teatherd humanoid robots viable for a lot of tasks. Once the AI is developed they could deliver mail or stock items in a department store.
It’ll be interesting to see how long it will be from this race before we see bi-pedal robots completing a full marathon.
Once the AI is developed they could deliver mail or stock items in a department store.
That’s never going to happen the way you imagine. AI can’t make decisions it wasn’t trained for, and delivering mail in the real world isn’t as simple as you think.
Unless you forced everyone to install standardized mailboxes and accepted that important mail won’t be delivered to people if their mailbox looks different, got damaged, or is covered in snow.
But what would the benefit of a system like that even be??
