A humanoid robot in China has just broken a Guinness World Record by walking a jaw-dropping 106.22 kilometers (about 66 miles) without taking a break, grabbing the spotlight from technology fans everywhere.
The robot, known as A-2, was created by tech company Agibot and made the epic trek from Jiangzhou to Shanghai. What’s even more impressive is that it kept moving smoothly even while its batteries were being swapped out, all thanks to its cutting-edge mobility system. A-2’s marathon journey lasted a full 24 hours and took it across city streets, tiled pathways, and bridges.
Agibot shared that A-2 followed every traffic rule to the letter throughout the adventure. Its onboard sensors and navigation technology guided it safely across a variety of terrains. After crossing the finish line, the robot joked that it might need a fresh pair of shoes—a playful touch following its record-breaking walk.
Chinese media outlets are hailing this accomplishment as a peek into what the future could look like, with robots handling transportation, delivery, and even rescue missions. Experts believe this milestone proves that humanoid robots are evolving well beyond factory floors. They’re now showing they can tackle complicated tasks in busy city environments and can be trusted to help people out in the real world.
This achievement not only shines a light on the expanding role of robotics in daily life—from deliveries to emergency assistance—but also shows how far technology has come in areas like mobility, independence, and artificial intelligence.
With incredible accomplishments like this, humanoid robots are making their way toward being dependable partners, merging innovation with everyday usefulness, and opening up new possibilities for life and work in modern cities.
