AgiBot A2's 66-Mile Walk on Single Charge

AgiBot unveiled a stunning feat with its A2 humanoid robot. The machine walked 66 miles across two bustling cities without a single recharge. This endurance run proves long-distance reliability for real-world applications.

AgiBot, a rising star in humanoid robotics founded in 2022 by a team of ex-Google engineers, focuses on versatile bots for urban environments. Their A2 model stands at 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, and runs on advanced lithium-sulfur batteries paired with AI-driven gait optimization. What sets it apart? The robot adapts its stride in real-time to uneven sidewalks, traffic, and weather— all powered by edge computing.

During the test on November 26, the A2 navigated from downtown Shanghai to a nearby suburb, dodging pedestrians and climbing stairs along the way. No remote control needed; it relied on onboard sensors and machine learning to complete the journey in under 24 hours. This isn't just a gimmick. It hints at future uses in delivery, elder care, and emergency response, where bots must operate far from base stations.

Industry watchers say this pushes boundaries. Competitors like Boston Dynamics have shown agility, but AgiBot emphasizes stamina. With production scaling next year, expect A2 units in warehouses and streets soon. Robotics just took a giant step forward.
