Humanoid 100 m: 2025 vs 2026 (sourced)
People paste 2025 and 2026 humanoid 100 m times into one chart. This page keeps them comparable without pretending the rules were identical.
Quick read
- 2026 large-group final: Tiangong Ultra 8.64 s (Associated Press). Semifinal 8.86 s (Reuters). Heat 9.39 s (SCMP).
- 2025 Games 100 m: Tiangong listed at 21.50 s adjusted Games time; Unitree H1 raw finishes around 22?C24 s in the same final context. Autonomy coefficient reporting means these are not 1:1 with 2026 raw finals.
- Neither set is a World Athletics human record. Empty cells elsewhere mean no public source URL yet.
Why we refuse one all-time list
2025 published some times with an autonomy coefficient. 2026 large-group wires published raw seconds in the high-8 to mid-9 range for the fastest bipeds. Merging them into one ??fastest humanoid ever?? ranking hides the rule change. Heat, semifinal, final, and labelled tests also stay on separate rows.
