Watch: Robots that created Guinness World record

Guinness World Records

has assembled a video showcasing

robots

achieving remarkable accomplishments. The video, titled “Robots are taking over record-breaking,” displays a variety of ingenious devices constructed by teams globally, with Japan, known for its

advanced robotics

, appearing frequently.
Dancing robots
The video, released on Monday, February 19, begins with the record for “most robots dancing simultaneously,” where over 1,300 robots execute various dance moves in perfect harmony.

The video also features Toyota’s skilled basketball robot, which made record history a few years ago for the “most consecutive basketball free throws by a humanoid robot (assisted),” successfully making 2,020 shots in 6.5 hours without any malfunction or need for a break. Japan also holds the record for the “most skips by a robot in one minute,” with a bird-like robot skipping a swinging rope 106 times in a minute.
Fastest-running robot

The video showcases a table tennis robot and another robot that can solve a Rubik’s Cube almost instantly. The video from Guinness World Records also includes the “fastest 100 meters by a bipedal robot,” essentially a pair of robotic legs, completing the course in 24.73 seconds — a time that seems slow compared to the current human record of 9.58 seconds for the same distance.
The “largest humanoid vehicle” is also featured, standing at a towering 27 feet and 9 inches (8.46 meters), along with the “fastest swim by a robotic fish,” which covered 165 feet (50 meters) in 22.16 seconds. Honda’s retired Asimo robot also makes an appearance as the “fastest-running humanoid robot” at 5.5 mph (9 kph).
Each of these robots represents a significant amount of work, with the prestige of entering the record books motivating engineering teams to develop increasingly complex technology that enhances their creations’ capabilities. However, it’s almost certain that in a few years, most, if not all, of these records will be surpassed.
