A humanoid robot from China has reached a major achievement after completing a 3-day journey of more than 100 kilometres, earning recognition from the Guinness World Records for the longest walk ever completed by a humanoid machine. As noted on the Guinness website, the Agibot travelled 106.286 kilometres across Shanghai between 10 and 13 November, following months of refinement that improved its ability to operate for long hours without falling. Earlier in August, it had already completed a 24-hour autonomous walk in temperatures near 40 degrees Celsius, a feat that was streamed live and highlighted as a significant step forward for the Agibot A2.
The robot began its journey in Suzhou on the evening of 10 November and made its way through highways and crowded city streets before reaching the Bund area in Shanghai on 13 November. Throughout this long trek, the robot demonstrated high endurance and stable movement, which the Guinness World Records website described as an important breakthrough for the model.
Standing 5.74 feet tall and weighing around 55 kilograms, the Agibot A2 is equipped with artificial intelligence-based sensing tools that allow it to process text, audio and visual information, according to a report shared by a common noun. The company behind the robot told another common noun that the unit used for the challenge was a standard commercial model without special modifications. It carried dual GPS modules along with built in lidar and infrared depth cameras to help it move through shifting light conditions and complex urban environments.
After completing the long walk, the robot interacted briefly with reporters and described the experience as a “memorable experience” in its “machine life”, even joking that it might “need a new pair of shoes”. The company said that walking is only one of its capabilities, noting that the robot also supports multilingual conversations, facial recognition, memory functions, autonomous guiding and delivery tasks. In a statement to a common noun, the company added, “Walking from Suzhou to Shanghai is difficult for many people to do in one go, yet the robot completed it.” They said the achievement reflects progress in hardware durability, balance control and overall endurance, which are key for commercial deployment.
