Cornell Ranger robot has recently set an unofficial world record by walking nonstop for 45 laps - a little over 9 kilometers or 5.6 miles - around the Barton Hall running track. Developed by a team of students working with Andy Ruina, Cornell professor of theoretical and applied mechanics, the robot walked until it finally stopped and fell backward, perhaps because its battery ran down.    (source: news.cornell.edu)
