Honor's self-developed humanoid robot "Lightning" appears in first joint run with Sabastian Sawe and Zhao Jiaju

Honor's self-developed humanoid robot "Lightning" appeared offline for the first time alongside Kenyan marathon runner Sabastian Sawe and Chinese trail runner Zhao Jiaju, engaging in a cross-track dialogue between humans and intelligent technology through a head-to-head racing interaction. In April this year, at the 2026 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon and Humanoid Robot Half Marathon, "Lightning" won the autonomous navigation category with a net time of 50 minutes 26 seconds. The project was established only 7 months earlier, and it competed for Team Qitian Dasheng; Honor's robots swept the top six places in that event.
