"The winning humanoid, equipped with an autonomous navigation system and running for Chinese smartphone maker Honor, completed the roughly 21km (13-mile) course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, at an average speed of about 25km/h (15.5mph)."
"The result represented spectacular progress from last year, when robot-runners fell repeatedly, and the best took more than two hours and 40 minutes to finish."
"The number of humanoid entries jumped from about 20 last year to more than 100, according to organisers, a sign of the sector's growing popularity."
"As someone who works for a living, I'm a little worried about it sometimes. I feel like technology is advancing so fast."

Spectators were impressed by the robots' capabilities, with some moving as agilely as famous runners. Concerns about the rapid advancement of technology were also expressed by attendees.
