SHANGHAI, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) — A Chinese-made humanoid robot, Android A2, entered the Guinness Book of World Records this month by running 106,286 kilometers (64,286 miles) without stopping.
Android A2, developed by Shanghai-based Agibot, set out from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, East China, on the night of November 10th and reached its destination, the Bund, in Shanghai, early in the morning of November 13th.
Throughout the entire journey, the robot, equipped with the Agibot quick-change battery system, remained on at all times, according to a certificate issued Thursday.
“Walking from Suzhou to Shanghai is a challenging task for humans, but it’s within the robot’s capabilities,” said Agibot Vice President Wang Chuan.
The achievement of Android A2 demonstrates the maturity of the robot's hardware, its "cerebellar" balance algorithms, and its endurance, laying a solid foundation for large-scale commercial deployment, the entrepreneur added.
The Android A2 robot is equipped with dual GPS, lidar, and infrared sensors designed for precise positioning during the day and night in challenging situations such as traffic lights, narrow passages, and crowded sidewalks.
The robot navigated paved roads, cobbled sidewalks, bridges, tactile surfaces, and ramps, all while strictly adhering to traffic regulations.
Speaking to Xinhua upon its arrival, the robot described its long trek as "an unforgettable experience in its life," jokingly suggesting that it "might need new shoes."
In April of this year, the Tien Kung Ultra robot, created by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, completed a 21-kilometer half-marathon in 2 hours and 40 minutes. -0-
