The machines have claimed another world record in track and field.

The robot Tiangong ran the 400 meters in 38.15 seconds in the World Humanoid Robot Games.

That would smash the mark set by South Africa's Wayde van Niekerk (43.03 seconds) during the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Usain Bolt's 100-meter record went down earlier in the weekend.

It wasn't the only human achievement the robots managed to best, either.
