Move over, K-pop idols—China’s AI-powered robots just dropped the most viral performance of the year! 🎉 Unitree Robotics’ dancing machines, dressed in vibrant floral jackets and twirling handkerchiefs, lit up the 2025 Spring Festival Gala with a traditional Yangge dance routine. The clip has racked up millions of views, blending tech innovation with cultural flair.
But these robots aren’t just for show. Unitree founder and CEO Wang Xingxing told CGTN that AI robotics could supercharge industrial production, cutting costs and boosting efficiency. \"Imagine factories where machines learn, adapt, and collaborate like humans—but faster,\" he said. 🌟 Wang also called for cross-industry teamwork to unlock AI’s \"exponential growth,\" comparing it to \"building the next-gen iPhone, but for global manufacturing.\"
The gala performance has sparked debates online: Could robot dance crews become China’s new cultural ambassadors? 💃🕺 One Weibo user joked, \"Next year’s TikTok trends: #YanggeChallenge, but make it cyborg.\"
With Unitree already testing AI robots in logistics and healthcare, this viral moment might be just the first act. 🚀
