Wow! Did you see the amazing robots at China’s Spring Festival Gala? π On Tuesday night, 16 humanoid robots from China’s top robotics company, Unitree, danced alongside 16 human performers! π€π
Together, they performed the traditional Yangko dance, which is a lively folk dance from northeast China. π¨π³ It’s known for its colorful costumes and joyful movements. And guess what? The robots even used handkerchiefs, just like the human dancers! πΊπ©°
The robots used their mechanical arms to twirl and toss the handkerchiefs into the air, creating a dazzling show of lights and movement. β¨ This performance was a perfect mix of tradition and modern technology. Isn’t that cool? π
Wang Qixin, the head of marketing at Unitree, said before the show, “They will perform fully automated position changes on stage, and their dance movements are all driven by AI.” So the robots were dancing all by themselves with the help of Artificial Intelligence! π€π§
This performance showed how technology can bring new life to traditional arts. Maybe someday, we’ll see even more robots joining in on our favorite dances! ππ€
