Black Panther, a Chinese robot dog developed to run like a leopard, can even break Usain Bolt’s running record.
The robot from the Chinese company Mirror.me can run an impressive 100 meters in less than 10 seconds. A clip posted on social media shows Black Panther racing against an athlete.
In a matter of seconds, the bionic dog can be seen leaving the man behind before reaching the finish line. Its incredible speed broke previous world records for four-legged robots, according to local media.
“Through the integration of software and components, we created a prototype in just three months,” said Wang Hongtao, head of the institute and professor at Zhejiang University, to Xinhua.
In addition to its unparalleled running abilities, the robot also features an artificial intelligence system that helps it improve after each race. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that Black Panther has become one of the fastest and most efficient four-legged robots on the planet.
