Agibot A2, a humanoid robot developed in China, has set a Guinness World Record after walking 106.286 km non-stop from Suzhou to Shanghai. The three-day journey tested real-world navigation, endurance, and balance across highways and bustling city streets, showcasing a breakthrough in robotics and autonomous mobility.
In a landmark achievement, Agibot A2, a humanoid robot designed by Agibot Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd., has completed a 106 km autonomous walk, earning a Guinness World Record for the longest distance covered by a humanoid machine.
The journey began on November 10, 2025, in Suzhou and concluded at Shanghai’s Bund waterfront on November 13. Unlike controlled lab tests, Agibot A2 navigated real-world terrains including highways, bylanes, ramps, and crowded streets—without a single fall. Standing 5.74 feet tall and weighing 55 kg, the robot was optimized earlier this year to enhance stability and endurance.
This feat highlights the rapid evolution of robotics, with implications for logistics, urban mobility, and human-robot collaboration.
