HumanoidPodium HumanoidPodium Search traffic for a humanoid 100 m world record is almost all news copy. This page is the cumulative, sourced table those articles do not keep: heat, semifinal, final, and labelled test rows with a clickable source. These seconds are not World Athletics records for human athletes.
The fastest sourced final on this ledger is Tiangong Ultra, 8.64 s, at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games large-group final (Associated Press). The same robot has a sourced semifinal 8.86 s (Reuters) and heat 9.39 s. Honor Lightning appears in the same 2026 heats. 2025 Games 100 m used a published autonomy coefficient; Tiangong 21.50 s is not comparable 1:1 with the 2026 raw final.
