In the impressive showcase of technology and culture, Chinese humanoid robots surprised the audience in this spring festival gala. A few days after the trend of Deepseek AI crossed a high -tech circle, 16 robots of UnitRee Robotics won the center stage, quickly viral with X and Reddit, and attracted the attention of social media users. I danced with the performance.
The robot was made to play a traditional Yanko dance. This is a folk art in northeastern China. Social media users are impressed by the performance of these robots because they can move completely with human performers. They manipulated the handkerchief with a mechanical arm, spinning in the air with the accuracy of A Kei’s thoughts.
Social media users tie Optimus Robot of Elon Musk
Social media responded quickly to performance because platforms such as Reddit and X (previous Twitter) were full of comments from impressive viewers. Many are surprised at how smoothly the robot is dancing, and some users call it an “attractive” display of the AI function. One Reddit user commented, “It’s very impressive how these robots rotate those handkerchiefs.”
It also has a comparison of Chinese humanoid robots and other robot engineering projects around the world, especially the Elon Musk Optimus Robot. Some users pointed out that Optimus is still under development and while struggling with basic movements, Chinese robots are already running complicated dance routines. One X user commented on the user. “Mask robots are still learning to walk, but Chinese robots are already dancing like professionals.”
Which technologies do these Chinese humanoid robots use?
UnitRee Robotics, a Chinese company behind these humanoid robots, has revealed that the robot used in performance is part of the FUXI series. According to the company, these robots are equipped with a 360 -degree panoramic depth recognition technology, allowing them to accurately navigate. You can perform complex movements like typical waist twists and leg kick steps for Yanko dance.
This technology is combined with high -precision 3D laser slums (simultaneous localization and mapping) positioning so that robots can be executed at a complex stage like a spring festival gala without missing the beat.

Why is this a big deal?
It is a big deal because China has given the United States a rigorous competition in this AI race, and the country can provide wonderful AI products without loud noise. As mentioned above, the new robot is designed with AI -drive motion control technology that can imitate human movements, and the accuracy is surprising and can be viewed on viral videos.
The performance was not only the ability to reproduce the movement of human dance, but to adjust the music in real time in real time. Using advanced AI algorithms, robots were able to “understand” music and adapt to movement based on the rhythm and tempo. This ability to respond to external stimuli is one of the important features of Unitree’s AI -drive robot, and can be functioned in a live stage performance -like dynamic environment.
China’s presence in AI is probably a threat to the US market
The success of the robot dance virus is a few days after the release of another large AI breakthrough from China, the release of DeepSeek AI. This is an advanced large language model that has attracted attention as a strong competitors on platforms such as Chatgpt, which is free for POINT performance and has less resources compared to rivals. At the same time, these two events show the presence of China in global AI and robot fields. Donald Trump also warned that Deepseek AI’s success should be a call for awakening of the US technical industry. Well, so far, the United States has dominated the AI space with companies such as Openai and Google. Due to DeepSeek AI’s debut, Trump seems to be worried about his future position in the AI Tech space.
