Chinese robotics company MirrorMe Technology has unveiled a new humanoid robot touted as the fastest runner in its class.
MirrorMe launched the humanoid robot — Bolt — on Monday, achieving a peak running speed of 10 meters per second in real-world tests. It is the world's first full-size humanoid robot to reach this milestone, according to a statement.
Bolt's name draws inspiration from Usain Bolt, the retired Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the greatest sprinter in history.
Standing 175 cm tall and weighing 75 kg, MirrorMe describes Bolt as embodying the ideal form for a humanoid robot.
For reference, Xpeng's (NYSE: XPEV, HKG: 9868) Iron humanoid robot stands at 178 cm tall and weighs 70 kg.
MirrorMe said it has never pursued "the fastest robot," but instead aims to create "super-species" robots that can truly approach or even surpass human athletic capabilities, endowing machines with human-level motion perception and athletic performance.
MirrorMe was formally established in May 2024 and is headquartered in Shanghai. Its core team originates from Zhejiang University, according to its website.
The company's current product lineup includes Baobao, Apollo, and Black Panther II, with Black Panther II primarily used for scientific research.
MirrorMe said that since 2016, its team has treated "speed" as a long-term research focus, deeply exploring the limits of robotic athletic capabilities.
On December 25, 2025, a video shared by the company demonstrated Black Panther II achieving a peak running speed of 13.4 meters per second.
