- Guinness World Records recognized the trek on Nov 20 as the first and longest verified distance walked by a two-legged machine.
- AgiBot reports the robot followed traffic rules and handled varied urban surfaces, with company video showing steady progress through streets and along the waterfront.
- The A2 is positioned for service roles and includes a chat function and lip-reading capabilities rather than being solely a research platform.
