Robots Tear Up Stage as Backup Dancers

"Chinese robotics company Unitree's G1 humanoid robot has taken over the internet by storm, from videos of it shooting hoops like an absolute boss to the more dubious viral fame that comes from being assaulted on camera by a livestreamer. Its technical chops are beyond repute: the highly agile bipedal androids can perform gnarly kung fu moves and even take a direct dropkick without tumbling."

"Video footage shows an army of the robots dressed up in flashy outfits consisting of baggy pants and sparkling overshirts, pulling off some awfully convincing dance moves as theirmovements almost perfectly blend in with the human dancers accompanying Wang on stage. At one point, several of the robots can even be seen performing a front flip in near-perfect unison. It's an impressive feat of coordination and programming, demonstrating once again how far humanoid robots, especially ones being developed in China, have come in a matter of years."

""The performance marked a rare example of a Robotic Dancer in concert, blending advanced technology with powerful live music," the singer's website boasts. "As the opening beats of 'Open Fire' filled the venue, robotic dancers appeared and moved in perfect synchronization with Wang Leehom's choreography." "Many fans praised the performance as one of the most creative highlights of the Best Place Tour, showing how music and technology can merge seamlessly," the website brags."
