An AgiBot A2 unit, developed by Chinese firm Zhiyuan Robotics, recently completed a 66-mile pilgrimage from Jinji Lake in Suzhou to Shanghai. The whole trek lasted three straight days, and set a new Guinness world record for “longest journey walked by a humanoid robot,” CBS reported. “After I successfully reach the finish-line, I will break the world record for the longest distance walked by a humanoid robot, and obtain the authoritative certification of the Guinness World Record,” the bot declared in an English-language marketing video. “Walking from Suzhou to Shanghai is difficult for many people to do in one go, yet the robot completed it,” he enthused. It’s a pretty remarkable effort for a humanoid robot, and with China encouraging its tech industry to go all-in on robotics, AgiBot is probably just getting started.
