Viral Video: China’s Dancing Humanoid Robots Stun the Internet; Elon Musk Says ‘Impressive’
Humanoid robots have officially stepped into the spotlight, this time on a live concert stage. At Chinese American singer-songwriter Wang Leehom’s recent concert in Chengdu, six humanoid robots delivered a jaw-dropping performance alongside the star, instantly becoming the talk of the internet.
Dressed in shimmering silver sequins, the robots joined Wang during his song Open Fire, perfectly matching the beat with sharp arm waves, leg kicks, turns, and jumps. Far from stiff or mechanical, their movements flowed smoothly with the music, making them feel like real backup dancers rather than machines.
The real showstopper came at the finale. As the crowd watched in disbelief, all six robots executed a synchronized Webster flip, earning thunderous applause both inside the venue and online. Many viewers admitted they didn’t even realize they were watching robots at first.
According to a news agency, the performers were developed by Unitree Robotics, a Hangzhou-based tech company known for pushing the boundaries of humanoid mobility. Clips of the performance quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking amazement and lively discussion.
The viral moment even caught the attention of Elon Musk. The US tech billionaire retweeted a post on X that read, "Robots in China are doing it all now, even dancing on stage like pros," adding a simple but telling reaction, “Impressive.”
Chinese social media users echoed that sentiment. Some pointed out how robots were seen doing basic routines at the Spring Festival Gala earlier this year, and are now confidently pulling off acrobatic flips. Others called the live show “electrifying,” praising the robots’ sleek, stylish moves.
From backup dancers to viral sensations, these humanoid robots proved that the future of live entertainment has well and truly arrived.
