Hyperbole is an understatement, the headline is obviously just trying to generate clicks. Idk how else we should quantify “human performance” though. Should we compare it’s strength to a sedentary office worker instead? I think the marathon comparison is actually very generous because I doubt this thing can even replicate a reasonable facsimile of a soccer performance.
Can it outrun a kenyan in a marathon?
Or the real question is if a battery can be made small enough to fit in a human sizef robot that can keep it running over 42km
It says exceed human performance, not exceed the peak humans in a given discipline.
Could Kiptum, race an F1 car as fast as Lewis Hamilton?
Could Lionel Messi play basketball like peak Kobe?
Sure the headline is hyperbole, but I don’t think we still should compare things like this.

Indeed. And lots of normal human beings are able to run marathon. Pretty easy if you set your mind to.
I mean, give it a dirt bike mode. Plenty of e-bikes out there can go over 42 km. Nothing says it has to do it like a human to exceed human capability.
Can it out mine John Henry?
