🤖 The humanoid robot AgiBot A2 has officially entered the Guinness World Records, setting an achievement that sounds like science fiction for ordinary machines: it walked more than one hundred kilometers completely autonomously. No operator, no remote control, no hints – only cameras, sensors, and its built-in “brain” that will not ask for a snack or say “my legs hurt”.
The route began in the city of Suzhou, known for its high-tech industrial parks, and ended at the legendary Bund waterfront in the heart of Shanghai. In total, AgiBot A2 covered 106 km, essentially “walking” a distance that for a human would be a full ultramarathon. The route included city streets, intersections, areas with heavy traffic, residential districts, and commercial zones – the full set of challenges usually faced by pedestrians in a large Chinese megacity.
Along the way, AgiBot A2 demonstrated not just the ability to move forward, but the capacity to adequately respond to a real urban environment: it correctly read road markings, reacted to traffic lights on time, avoided obstacles, adapted to the flow of people and vehicles. It did not get confused in crowds, narrow passages, or places where noise, movement, and chaos mix into a single cocktail of urban life.
One of the most curious details was the solution implemented by Zhiyuan Robotics engineers for battery replacement. Since one charge lasts for about three hours of continuous operation, the team developed a system of rapid battery swapping directly during movement. The process looked like a real pit stop: specialists aligned with the moving robot for just a few seconds, detached the old battery block, and immediately connected a new one. All this without stopping AgiBot A2 – the robot did not even need a “sip of water” or a stretch.
The route became a large-scale public test of the technologies built into AgiBot A2. The robot demonstrated several key capabilities at once: resistance to vibrations and surface irregularities, the ability to operate with changing lighting conditions, correct processing of visual data in real time, and safe social navigation among people. Simply put, it passed a test on its “ability to behave in society” – and it passed better than many newcomers to a big city.
Engineers emphasize that AgiBot A2 was developed not as a show gadget but as a practical tool for businesses, logistics, services, and urban infrastructure. Its record was not a publicity stunt but a demonstration that autonomous robots can operate for long periods, interact safely with their surroundings, and perform complex tasks without human control.
🦾 According to the company itself, in 2025 more than one thousand units of AgiBot A2 were produced and delivered to customers. Considering the newly gained recognition from Guinness World Records, experts predict that demand may increase significantly – because robots with proven reliability and endurance are always in demand. Especially those capable of walking a hundred kilometers without complaining.
