Oregon State Robot Breaks Guinness World Record In 100-Meter Dash

Mankind is doomed, other than for Usain Bolt.

Oregon State University simply released the fastest bipedal robotic worldwide — a maker that is quicker than the speed of light your typical shopping mall walker … which simply clocked a 100-meter dash with the time of 24.73 seconds!!

The star robo-athlete is called Cassie … which was created by the OSU College of Engineering. OSU states Cassie was developed with knees like an ostrich and has no video cameras or censors — so it is essentially blind.

The huge single-entry race decreased at the school’s Whyte Track and Field Center … and while it might not outrun the typical human, the achievement is amazing for a robotic.

FWIW … Bolt’s 100-meter world record is protected at 9.58 seconds.

As it ends up, Cassie has another significant accomplishment on its resume … after running a 5k in 53 minutes back in 2021.

“Cassie has been a platform for pioneering research in robot learning for locomotion,” task leader Devin Crowley stated. “Completing a 5K was about reliability and endurance, which left open the question of, how fast can Cassie run? That led the research team to shift its focus to speed.”
