Unitree's "Superman" humanoid robot reportedly reached 12.66 metres per second and completed a two-metre standing vertical jump, according to a company demonstration described by Electronics For You. The reported results came from a controlled environment and have not been independently tested. The outlet says the performances would exceed cited human speed and jump benchmarks, while Unitree says the robot's legs measure 0.85 metres. External testing would be needed before the figures can be treated as established records.
