AgiBot A2, developed by Agibot Innovation Shanghai, has set a Guinness World Record after completing a remarkable 106.286 km walk from Suzhou to Shanghai, demonstrating its exceptional reliability and fully autonomous navigation capabilities.
A Chinese humanoid robot has secured a spot in the Guinness World Records after finishing a three-day, 100-kilometre trek — the longest distance ever documented for a robot of its kind.
Guinness World Records reports that the 169-centimetre-tall AgiBot A2 started its journey from Suzhou on the evening of November 10, travelling along highways and city streets before reaching Shanghai’s historic Bund waterfront on November 13.
The robot was developed by Agibot Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, China.
The AgiBot A2 was upgraded between April and May 2025 to prevent falls during hundreds of hours of continuous operation.
On August 17, the robot completed a 24-hour fully autonomous walk in temperatures approaching 40°C, an event streamed live online. Guinness World Records noted that this over-100-km challenge represents a major milestone for the AgiBot A2 robot.
In a post on X, the robot’s maker said its two-legged walker successfully navigated diverse terrains and followed traffic rules throughout its continuous 106.286-kilometre (66-mile) journey, which was officially recognised on Thursday as the first achievement of its kind.
Video clips released by AgiBot showed the silver-and-black A2 walking along a roadside beside cyclists and scooter riders, later accelerating as it marched down the Bund against the backdrop of the Shanghai skyline, AFP reported.
AgiBot said the A2 is built for customer service tasks and comes equipped with both a chat function and lip-reading capabilities.
In August, the Chinese capital hosted the world’s first humanoid robot games, featuring more than 500 robotic “athletes” competing in events ranging from basketball to competitive cleaning.
