China-made robot sets record for longest walk

Published on Nov 1, 2015


Walker I, a China-made robot, set a new Guinness World Record on Sunday for walking 134.03 kilometers in 54 hours.

The four-legged robot, made by a research team in southwest China's Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications (CQUPT), circled an indoor track in Chongqing from Oct. 24 to 27, taking 340,000 steps before it had to stop and recharge.

The distance it covered was more than twice as much as that by the former record holder, Ranger, which was developed by a team at Cornell University in the U.S, and the speed was 1.18 times faster.

Professor Li Qingdu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/qingdu-li-b373485a), a leading researcher of the Walker I project, says their overall task isn't simply to extend the length the robot can trek, but rather, to study electrical efficiency, increase the robot's reliability and possibly, enabling the robots to perform dangerous, remotely controlled missions in place of a human being.

Furthest distance covered by a quadruped robot - Guinness World Records

Published on Nov 5, 2015


Watch another extraordinary victory for the fast-developing science of robotics when a Chinese developed machine set a new world record for Furthest distance covered by a quadruped robot.

Developed by a team led by Professor Li Qingdu from the College of Automation of Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, the robot, named Xingzhe No.1, took the title after travelling an incredible 134.03 km (83.28 miles).

The Guinness World Records guidelines for this title state that the robot must complete its journey on a single charge or tank of fuel, and so, moving continuously for 54 hours 34 minutes, Walker 1 completed 1,405 laps of a 95.39 m indoor track, running rings around the previous record-holder - Cornell University’s (USA) Ranger Robot, which covered a comparatively small distance of 65.18 km (40.5 miles) in New York, USA, in 2011.

Drone display sets world record for most UAVs airborne simultaneously

Published on Jan 8, 2016


A spectacular display of drone technology by Intel Corporation (USA) involving 100 small aircrafts being launched skywards in formation has earned a new world record title for the Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously.

Controlled on the ground by a crew using PCs with Intel software, the mass of drones lit up the night sky in sync to a live performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and executed a stunning light show resembling a fireworks display.

“Drone 100” took place at Flugplatz Ahrenlohe, Tornesch, Germany, in November 2015. The record was set in collaboration with Ars Electronica Futurelab to push the limits of the UAV industry and to show what UAVs can be used for.

Robotic marathon man: Simon Kindleysides - Guinness World Records

Published on Apr 12, 2019


When 40,000 people lined up at the start line of the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon on 22 April, there was one participant who was unique.

He wasn’t running the marathon, he was walking. But not just walking. He was doing the 26.2-mile distance in an exoskeleton suit, just months after taking his first steps in four years.

36 hours and 46 minutes after setting off (which included 27 hours 32 minutes of walking), Simon Kindleysides, 34, from Norwich (UK), set a new record for the fastest marathon distance in a robotic walking device.
