SIASUN(SZ:300024) Shang Hai Zheng Quan Bao·2025-11-20 14:39Core Viewpoint - The Zhiyuan Expedition A2 humanoid robot successfully completed a 106.286 km cross-province walking challenge from Suzhou Jinji Lake to Shanghai Bund, setting a Guinness World Record for the longest journey walked by a humanoid robot [1]. Group 1: Challenge Details - The challenge began at the landmark "Oriental Gate" in Suzhou and involved navigating through various terrains, including urban areas, scenic spots, national and provincial roads, and diverse environmental challenges such as asphalt roads, tiled paths, bridges, and poor nighttime lighting [7]. - The robot operated continuously without shutting down, utilizing Zhiyuan's rapid hot-swappable battery system, and completed the journey without any falls [9]. Group 2: Robot Performance and Technology - The robot used for the challenge was the same unit taken directly from the production line, without any modifications or special footwear, and showed only minor wear on the rubber sole after the journey [8]. - The robot's performance has improved significantly, with over 1,000 units deployed commercially this year, indicating increased reliability and stability, which has led to repeat purchases from clients [10]. Group 3: Industry Implications - The successful completion of the challenge demonstrates the maturity of the robot's hardware performance, balance algorithms, and durability, laying the groundwork for large-scale commercial deployment [10]. - The current battery technology limits the robot's operational time to about 2 hours of walking, indicating a need for further advancements in battery performance to enhance endurance [10].
