World's Fastest Humanoid: Meet Bolt, Racing at 10 Meters Per Second

Recently, the Humanoid Robot Innovation Research Institute at Hangzhou Innovation Center (Zhejiang University) officially unveiled the full-scale humanoid robot Bolt. With a running speed of 10 meters per second, the robot has become the world's fastest humanoid robot to date.

This achievement was jointly developed by Hangzhou Innovation Center in collaboration with Jingshi Technology and Kaierda, representing a exemplary case of deep integration between university research strengths and enterprise industrial technology. It marks significant breakthroughs by all three parties in key technological areas including robot motion control, dynamic balance, and high-burst actuation. During the testing phase, Wang Hongtao, director of the research institute and founder of Jingshi Technology, personally participated in field testing to verify the robot's motion performance.

Bolt's naming inspiration comes from the legendary sprinter "Lightning Bolt" Usain Bolt. Previously, Su Bingtian stated after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics that Bolt's 9.58-second 100-meter world record would be difficult to surpass for decades to come. Now, the research team is challenging the limits of human athletic performance through the power of technology, committed to achieving new breakthroughs in locomotion capabilities.

In fact, the Humanoid Robot Research Institute's R&D team already set the global fastest running record in 2025 with the quadruped robot "Black Panther." This extension of their technical accumulation into the humanoid robot domain once again demonstrates their continuous innovation capability in motion control, while also providing new possibilities for robots' future applications in scenarios such as emergency response and industrial operations.

Moving forward, the research team will further optimize the Bolt robot system, driving its deployment and application in sectors including services and manufacturing, providing a new technological template for the development of the humanoid robot industry.
