Chinese Humanoid Robot Sets Guinness Record for 66-Mile Walk
A Chinese humanoid robot just shattered records by walking 66 miles in three days, earning a spot in the Guinness World Records. The AgiBot A2, developed by Shanghai-based startup AgiBot Technology, trekked from Suzhou to Shanghai on November 24, 2025, all while following traffic rules like a pedestrian.
AgiBot Technology, founded in 2022, specializes in advanced humanoid robots aimed at real-world applications. They've poured resources into AI-driven mobility, making their bots navigate urban environments with ease. The A2 model stands at 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds, powered by electric actuators for smooth, human-like strides.
Engineers programmed the robot to handle sidewalks, crosswalks, and even brief stops at signals. It averaged 22 miles per day, dodging obstacles without a single glitch. This feat highlights China's push in robotics, where firms like AgiBot compete to blend AI with physical prowess.
Experts say this endurance test paves the way for robots in delivery, inspection, or elder care. As batteries improve and sensors sharpen, expect more bots hitting the streets soon. The Guinness nod cements AgiBot's place in the evolving world of autonomous walkers.
