China’s humanoid robot sets Guinness World Record with 65-mile nonstop trek

China’s humanoid robot AgiBot A2 set a new Guinness World Record by completing a nonstop 65-mile (106.286 km) trek from Suzhou’s Jinji Lake to Shanghai’s Bund between November 10 and 13. This achievement marks the longest journey walked by a humanoid robot, accomplished without powering off thanks to its hot-swappable battery system. The walk demonstrated the robot’s endurance, hardware durability, balanced control, and overall reliability, highlighting its readiness for commercial deployment. The AgiBot A2 stands 5.74 feet tall, weighs 55 kg, and is equipped with AI-powered sensing capabilities that enable it to process text, audio, and visual data, as well as perform fine-motor tasks like threading a needle. During the journey, the robot navigated diverse terrains—including urban roads, highways, bridges, and slopes—while complying with traffic regulations. It used dual GPS, LIDAR, and infrared depth cameras for precise navigation under varying light conditions
