China: Impressive Kung Fu Performance Featuring Robots

During the glamorous gala of China Media Group (CMG) on the eve of the Chinese New Year, humanoid robots performed an impressive kung fu martial arts show. Four emerging robotics startups – Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Noetix, and MagicLab – presented their products, demonstrating impressive synchronization, flexibility, and precision in their movements. The robots performed acrobatics alongside child kung fu athletes, using traditional weapons such as swords and nunchakus. The performance highlighted China's technological progress in the field of robotics, in which the country seeks to dominate. The CMG gala, compared to the Super Bowl in the US, is the highest-rated television program on the planet, according to Guinness. The celebration of the Lunar New Year is the most important traditional festival for the Chinese people.
