China’s Humanoid Robot Breaks World Record by Walking 106 Kilometers

AgiBot A2, the humanoid robot developed by the Chinese technology company AgiBot, has become the new holder of the Guinness World Record by completing a total walk of 106 kilometers from Suzhou to Shanghai without stopping. In its statement, the company emphasized that the robot did not shut down even once during the three-day journey, a feat made possible by its replaceable battery system.

AgiBot A2 is Now the Registered Record Holder

As a result of the 3-day walk, Guinness officials officially declared A2 the record holder in the category of “longest walk by a humanoid robot.” AgiBot Senior Vice President Wang Chuang stated that the walk was performed to demonstrate the point robot technology has reached in terms of durability, balance control, and hardware reliability.

A2 was developed as a humanoid robot standing 175 cm tall and weighing 55 kg. Thanks to AI-supported perception systems, it can analyze text, voice, and image data. It also offers high accuracy in jobs requiring fine motor control. For example, it can perform delicate tasks like threading a needle. AgiBot’s product family also includes models for different use cases, such as A2 Max, A2-W, X1, and X1-W.

Diverse Terrain and Navigation

The robot proceeded along the Suzhou–Shanghai route, traversing city roads, coastlines, and various national and interstate highways. AgiBot A2 encountered a wide variety of terrains, such as asphalt, bridge surfaces, tactile paving (guiding blocks), sloped roads, and low-light areas. The company announced that the robot complied completely with traffic rules throughout the route.

Following the journey, no issues were detected in its mechanical structure other than slight wear on the rubber coating of A2’s soles. AgiBot specifically noted that the robot used was a fully mass-produced commercial model and that no special adjustments were made. Meanwhile, the robot used dual GPS modules, LIDAR sensors, and infrared depth cameras for navigation. This hardware combination provided continuous location accuracy in variable light conditions and complex city environments.

“I Need New Shoes”

At the finish point in Shanghai, the robot had a brief chat with members of the press. describing the journey as an “unforgettable experience,” it jokingly stated, “I think I need a new pair of shoes now.”

Wang explained that A2 can perform tasks such as multi-lingual communication, face recognition, memory creation, autonomous guidance, and reporting. AgiBot announced that it has produced and shipped over a thousand commercial A2 units in 2025.
