The winning time represents a dramatic improvement over last year's event, where the fastest robot took two hours and 40 minutes to complete the race. About 40% of participating robots competed autonomously while 60% were remote-controlled, according to Beijing's E-Town tech hub.
Not all robots performed as well, with one falling at the starting line and another hitting a barrier during the race. The Associated Press reported the results from today's competition.
