The article mentions:

The performance by the robot marked a significant step forward from last year’s inaugural race, during which the winning robot finished in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.

But that doesn't mean much as it just talking about robots in this specific event. Given that's the greatest accolade they could give, I imagine it's more a publicity stunt.
