A live concert in China recently surprised audiences when six humanoid robots appeared on stage and danced together with a famous singer. The event took place in Chengdu on Thursday, and quickly became a hot topic online.
The robots did not just stand or move slowly. Instead, they performed a full dance routine that matched the music and amazed many viewers.
A surprising moment on stage
The concert featured Chinese American singer-songwriter Wang Leehom, who was performing one of his popular songs, Open Fire. During the performance, six humanoid robots joined him on stage.
They wore silver outfits that reflected the stage lights, making them look like professional dancers. Many people in the audience were not expecting to see robots perform live at a music concert.
The robots moved confidently and followed the rhythm of the song. Their timing looked careful and well-planned, which made the performance feel smooth and exciting.
Moves beyond simple robot actions
Unlike earlier robot shows, these humanoid robots did not repeat simple motions. Videos online showed them kicking their legs, turning their bodies, and moving their arms in time with the beat. The robots also jumped and changed positions together without delay.
One of the most talked-about moments came at the end of the dance. All six robots completed a flip at the same time, which drew loud reactions from the crowd and more attention online.
Technology behind the performance
The robots were provided by Unitree Robotics, a company based in Hangzhou. The company is known for developing advanced humanoid robots. This concert performance showed how far their technology has come, especially in movement control and balance.
The appearance of the robots quickly gained attention outside China as well. The performance was shared widely across international platforms, bringing global focus to the show.
From concert stage to wider discussion
The Chengdu performance also led to wider discussion about robots in entertainment. Some viewers were surprised by how natural the movements looked. Others focused on how quickly humanoid robots are improving in live performance settings.
The robots’ appearance at the concert showed that technology is now stepping into areas usually reserved for human performers.
More than a one-time show
This concert was part of Wang Leehom’s Best Place Tour. In a statement released after the show, the singer described performing alongside robots as a rare experience. The company behind the robots has also shared plans to develop dance abilities for home use.
In February, Unitree introduced a feature that allows robots to move smoothly with music, showing that the Chengdu concert was only one example of how this technology is being explored.
