Chinese tech company AgiBot has entered the Guinness World Records after its humanoid robot A2 walked 106.286 km from Suzhou to Shanghai. The distance beats every earlier endurance mark set by comparable machines and shows that humanoid robots now travel farther and operate longer without human help.

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas besides Honda's ASIMO move with impressive agility for short bursts - yet they never attempted a day long hike through two provinces. A2 obeyed traffic rules, crossed asphalt, tiles, ramps plus busy sidewalks and kept going - swapping battery packs on the move. The test took place on open roads, not inside a laboratory.

The value of the feat lies beyond the kilometre count. A2 proved that joints, sensors, power units and software can work together for many hours under normal city conditions. The result gives engineers a new reference point for reliability and paves the way for robots that deliver parcels, patrol streets or guide pedestrians.

During the walk A2 faced crowds but also reporters, answered questions and told a joke at the finish line. Those interactions show that human robot communication has reached a practical level for daily life.

The record signals a clear shift - humanoid robots have moved from short demonstrations to long, useful missions in the real world.
