According to Global Times , AgiBot's humanoid robot A2 has just set a Guinness World Record for a cross-province walk of 106.286 km. This achievement was confirmed by a Guinness World Record examiner on November 20, awarding A2 the title of "Longest walking distance by a humanoid robot".
The highlight of the challenge was that A2 completed the entire journey from Suzhou (Jiangsu) to the Bund in Shanghai without ever turning off its power. This success came thanks to the hot-swappable battery system developed by AgiBot, which allows the robot to operate continuously.
During its journey, A2 must overcome a series of complex terrains: asphalt, paved roads, bridges, paths for the blind, slopes, and even dark roads at night. The robot obeys traffic laws and flexibly handles crowded urban conditions before reaching its destination.
According to Mr. Wang Chuang, partner and senior vice president of AgiBot, this cross-province walk demonstrated the robot’s stability, reliability, balance and endurance. He emphasized that this journey of more than 100 kilometers is a challenge that “many people find difficult to complete in one go, but the robot did it.”
The A2 participating in the challenge is a mass-produced version, without special modifications. The robot is equipped with two GPS modules, a lidar sensor and an infrared depth camera, helping it navigate accurately in a constantly changing urban environment.
After arriving at the Bund in Shanghai, A2 briefly interacted with reporters, calling the trip a memorable experience in its “machine life,” and jokingly said that it probably “needs a new pair of shoes,” as the rubber on its feet had worn out after the long journey.
In addition to walking, the A2 robot now supports multilingual communication, facial recognition, memory, automatic navigation and delivery.
Industry expert Liu Dingding said this was a milestone for humanoid robots. Completing the journey under real, uncontrolled conditions proves that the movement algorithms, system integration and hardware durability have matured significantly.
According to Mr. Liu , this success shows that humanoid robots have begun to be capable of stepping out of the laboratory environment to serve in life and industry.
