I somehow expected the fastest bipedal robots to be faster at running than humans already. But I was surprised to learn that this is not just wrong but that it's not even close! The latest world record for the running speed of a bipedal robot is 24.73 seconds for 100 meters (~14.6 kmh or 9 mph). The world record for humans is 9.58 seconds (~37.6 kmh or 23.4 mph). Even for quadruped robots, the current world record is 19.87 seconds (~18.1 kmh or 11.3 mph), also surprisingly far behind. Speeds on treadmills can be much faster but they're not directly comparable with overground walking / running. The video shows footage of the fasted bipedal robot I could find for overground running and running on a treadmill, respectively. Happy to be corrected, if I missed anything!

When do you think will this record be broken?
