Chilling vid shows world’s fastest humanoid robot sprinting at full pelt – and terrifying faceless droid will never tire
CHILLING video has shown the world's fastest humanoid robot sprinting at full pelt.
The terrifying reality comes from Unitree Robotics, whose H1 V3.0 Evolution faceless droid will never tire of running.
The Chinese startup, which is based just outside of Shanghai in Hangzhou, have now broken the Guinness World Record for the fastest full-sized humanoid robot.
The firm wants to democratise legged robotics and make them as common and affordable as modern devices like drones and smartphones.
As a result, they've cooked up a robot equipped with an innovative “powertrain [that] provides the highest level of speed, power, manoeuvrability, and flexibility,” according to their website.
Unitree has since released a spine-tingling video of their robotic creation achieving its linear walking speed of 7.38mph.

In the footage uploaded to YouTube, the improved H1 V3.0 is seen showing off its range of dynamic movements.
It begins by breaking into a fast-paced walk, before it is then seen exercising its arms, legs, and torso as part of a choreographed dance routine.
A stunning clip also reveals the robot jumping up into the air, reaching the equivalent height a human would achieve.
If that wasn't scary enough, then the robot is also capable of walking up and down stairs.
Furthermore, it can rotate in either direction should it require to change course or overcome obstacles.
The previous speed record for a humanoid was achieved by Boston Dynamics’s Atlas, with its ability to move at 5.59 mph.

The price range, however, could reach up to $150,000 (£118,146) if demand requires it.
Nonetheless, deliveries are planned for mid-2024.
