Core Insights - The A2 humanoid robot from Zhiyuan has set a Guinness World Record for the longest distance walked by a humanoid robot, covering 106.286 kilometers from Suzhou Jinji Lake to Shanghai Bund, highlighting its integration into real-world scenarios [1] - The journey faced challenges such as battery replacement logistics and navigating human environments, emphasizing the need for a robust engineering system to support real-world deployment [1][2] Group 1: Technical Challenges - The A2 robot has a battery life of approximately 3 hours when stationary and 2 hours while walking, necessitating a support vehicle for battery replacement during its journey [2] - The robot operates in a "semi-autonomous" mode, equipped with dual GPS for navigation, but still faces challenges in adhering to traffic rules and avoiding obstacles like pedestrians and vehicles [2][3] - The ability to walk steadily in various conditions is a significant engineering challenge, as the robot must perform reliably in non-standard environments [3][5] Group 2: Industry Insights - The development of smaller humanoid robots is progressing, with platforms like BridgeDP Engine enabling rapid learning of movements, thus lowering the barrier for secondary development [4] - Full-sized humanoid robots present greater challenges compared to smaller models, including stability, structural strength, and energy efficiency, which are critical for successful deployment [5] - The industry faces a high maintenance rate for delivered robots, indicating systemic issues that go beyond supply chain problems, necessitating improvements in delivery processes and after-sales support [5] Group 3: Future Considerations - For robots to integrate successfully into outdoor environments, societal infrastructure and regulations, such as designated charging stations and identification systems, will be essential [6] - As robots become more prevalent in commercial applications, the establishment of these infrastructures and rules is expected to evolve over time [6]

机器人走106公里，换电是个大问题。 根据远征A2的日常续航情况，团队的工作人员透露，A2的电池续航在站立状态下能持续3小时，"行走的话，能够走2 小时"。但在本次行走的实际过程中，为了保障安全，工作人员透露，会根据实际状况调整。"毕竟路上什么人都有， 走到最低电量才换电会有安全隐患。" 真实世界考验机器人背后庞大工程体系的稳定性、鲁棒性与技术边界。 "机器人晚上10点才能开始走，早上6点前要收工。" 从苏州金鸡湖到上海外滩，智元旗下的机器人远征A2完成了106.286公里的行走，也成为了吉尼斯世界纪录官方认证 的"人形机器人行走最远距离"世界纪录保持者。尽管没有摔一次跤，但机器人进入真实世界，还是遇到了不小的挑 战：走人行道还是走非机动车道？没有补给点设施怎么换电？要不要全自主？万一碰到了人怎么办？ 第一财经记者采访了支持本次远征A2百公里行走的幕后团队了解到，本次行走是机器人融入人类真实生活的一个尝 试。出于安全性考虑，机器人本次的行走只能在深夜进行。 实时变化着的真实世界考验机器人背后庞大工程体系的稳定性、鲁棒性与技术边界。"机器人已经走出实验室，开始 交付，但在真实世界的商用部署里会遇到什么问题，不去 ...
