(ECNS) -- Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics unveiled a new humanoid robot dubbed “Superman” on Monday, saying it can perform a 2-meter jump from a standing position and reach a top speed of 12.66 meters per second with 0.85-meter-long legs.

The company said the robot surpasses human records for both vertical jump and sprint speed. Developed in just over three months, the prototype will continue to be refined in the coming months.

Unitree also introduced the As2W, a wheeled-leg quadruped robot designed for heavy loads and long-duration tasks. It can carry up to 16 kilograms continuously, travel more than 30 kilometers unloaded, and reach speeds of 6 meters per second. Demonstrations showed the robot diving from platforms and walking through shallow water with its IP54-rated design. The 25-kilogram machine has a maximum payload of 180 kilograms.

On May 12, Unitree unveiled the GD01, its first mass-produced manned transforming mecha, with a starting price of 3.9 million yuan (about $540,000). It is the most expensive publicly priced product released by the company to date.
