I mean, I don't think anyone expected a 50-minute marathon to come...
if you look back at last year when it was well over two hours half marathon, that is, I want to shout out Honor too, because this is the manufacturer.
They make smartphones.
How did a smartphone manufacturer just jump to the lead of the robotics?
Because they actually do a lot of stuff that contributes towards making a good robot as well.
If you think about their experience in miniaturization of many technologies, lightweight design, thermal management is a big thing too when it comes to these robot races.
So
It makes sense that a smartphone manufacturer would excel at all these things that translate very well into creating a running robot.
The funny thing, too, is that they did look at humans to inform design choices for their robot.
The legs are 35 to 37 inches long, which is meant to mimic the world's top human runners.
The gait is fascinating, though, because it's very short strides.
Like, it's not...
Big, bounding things where you can get a little bit off balance.
Keep the feet close to the ground.
It's almost this quick shuffle, but man, it is really jarring if you haven't seen the video to see just how fast these things are moving faster than humans, which is crazy.
Yeah, many were wondering if Trump is going to choose a clean path for his nomination over this feud with Jerome Powell.
It looks like, no, he wants to keep the feud going.
That's the big thing to look for.
Do you eventually just acquiesce and say, hey, I want to get this nomination through, or do you keep fighting this Powell probe?
It looks like fighting is the path that Trump is choosing.
