🇨🇳 A year ago, humanoid robots were struggling with basic movements. At China's 2026 Spring Festival Gala this week, they were doing backflips, parkour, and full kung fu routines with nunchucks. Physical intelligence is moving faster than almost anyone expected. Source: CGTN

This aired tonight to 1 billion people in China. A year ago these robots could barely wave a handkerchief, now they can do backflips and kung fu with nunchucks. Physical intelligence is the next frontier.

The rate Chinese humanoid robots are evolving is faster than most people think. This is Unitree's robots at 2026 Chinese Spring Festival Gala Dozens of G1 robots, in the world’s 1st fully autonomous humanoid robot cluster Kung Fu show. Quick movement showcasing its motion limits. H2 showed up at both the Beijing main venue and the Yiwu sub-venue, dressed in the Monkey King’s heavy armor and riding a “somersault cloud” acted by B2W robot dogs.

At Wang Leehom's concert in Chengdu, 6 humanoid robots in the front row stunned the crowd with synchronized backflips. The contrast is mind-blowing when you look back on the Spring Festival Gala stage at the beginning of this year, robots were still wobbling and swaying. As the viral internet meme goes:“January: A grandpa of seventy-four; December: A champ jumping off the floor!”

A few months ago, Unitree's humanoid robots were dancing Yangko at China's Spring Festival Gala. Now they're performing on America's Got Talent. Chinese dancer Wu Yufei and a troupe of Unitree robots earned four “Yes” votes from the judges, advancing to the next round. The most striking part isn't that robots can dance. It's that we're already starting to accept them as part of the cast!

This will be the last war where humans were materially involved in the building of humanoid robots. The escape velocity is when you own the ability to do what this factory is doing in your garage with a scrappy open source robot making robots. Computers in the 1940s filled massive rooms. You hold in your hands more power than all the computers in the world up to 1964. Don’t believe anyone who says it won’t happen. It will and faster than anyone can comprehend.

Unitree is hitting the Spring Festival Gala stage for the third time, evolving from dancing robot dogs to martial arts masters! 🤖 Back in 2021, 24 robot dogs made their debut with a synchronized cluster dance. By 2025, 16 H1 humanoids were performing folk dances and even tossing handkerchiefs. Now in 2026, they’ve peaked with high-stakes Kung Fu.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 TRUMP: WE WERE SURPRISED WITH CHINA'S EXPORT RESTRICTIONS ON RARE MINERALS “We were just surprised at China. I have a very good relationship with President Xi, and they did that. This is not something that I instigated. This was just a response to something that they did, and they didn’t really aim it at us. They aimed at the whole world. The whole world is subject to it.” Source: RSBN

Humans are cooked. 😳 China just hosted the world's first robot-led gala show, 60 minutes of humanoid robots performing live on stage. Not a tech demo. Not a 30-second clip from a lab. A full entertainment show during the Chinese Spring Festival with 12 performances including dance, magic, comedy, martial arts, and a fashion runway. The robots did backflips. Let me say that again. The robots. Did. Backflips. AGIBOT G2 humanoid robots and D1 quadruped robots performed in perfectly synchronized formations…. rapid turns, group choreography, runway walks.. transitioning seamlessly between segments for a full hour. But here's what actually blew my mind: In one segment, human dancers performed alongside the robots in coordinated routines. Real-time alignment between human movement and robotic motion. You couldn't tell who was leading. In another, quadruped robots dressed as pandas danced with children on stage. And in the corner? A sign-language translation robot was providing barrier-free access for hearing-impaired viewers. This wasn't entertainment. This was a statement. Some context most people are missing: AGIBOT shipped over 5,000 humanoid robots in 2025. They're ranked #1 globally in humanoid robot shipments. The company was founded by a former Huawei "Genius Youth" engineer just 3 years ago. Three. Years. Meanwhile, Boston Dynamics has been at it for 32 years and still doesn't have a consumer product on the market. China isn't just catching up in robotics. They're lapping us while doing backflips. And the craziest part? You can now rent these same robots for events through their platform, starting at 999 yuan. That's about $140. The future isn't coming. It's performing on stage, doing backflips, and it costs less than your Costco run. AGIBOT #AGIBOT NIGHT #RobotsHumanoides #ArtesMarcialesChinas

Are you watching the Chinese New Year Gala? The Robot Kungfu show is mind blowing!!! They just executed a coordinated martial arts routine with spatial precision, rhythm control, and dynamic balance adjustments in real time. Kung fu, one of China’s most iconic traditional art forms , performed by machines built with cutting-edge AI control systems, advanced actuators, and high-speed feedback loops. Ancient discipline meets algorithmic precision. Last year, humanoid robots stepped onto the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time. This year, they held synchronized kung fu stances with balance that would humble half of us after leg day. And they did it live!!! On the most-watched television event on the planet. The progress in just one year is magical. That’s what we call China speed. What makes it even sweeter is where this happened. I love how the progress is integrated in culture. In celebration. In a Lunar New Year gala watched by hundreds of millions. It’s music to my ears. The robots didn’t look like they were “trying” anymore. They looked like they belonged. Their joint articulation was smoother. Their formation timing tighter. Their balance recovery almost elegant. Their choreography is expressive. That’s what happens when AI models improve, control systems get smarter, hardware stabilizes, and iteration cycles compress. One year in robotics today is not the same as one year ten years ago. It’s compounding. If this is what 12 months looks like, imagine 36. The Chinese New Year Robot Kungfu Gala is just futuristic. It was quite the statement! The future is getting better very, very fast. It was so beautiful to watch. What do you think?

NEW: China unveils humanoid kung fu robots to showcase its "technological might" to the West, according to the Telegraph. About two dozen robots were seen performing martial arts, parkour, and breakdancing. The performance was broadcast on state television during China's Lunar New Year's Eve show. According to a 2024 US government report, China was "deploying significant government support for the humanoid robot industry in the form of subsidies. tax breaks, and development zones." About 3 years ago, Beijing's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it "wanted to see thousands of humanoids in farms, factories and houses" by 2025. (Telegraph) "You can’t imagine how fast Chinese humanoid robots are evolving," the Chinese embassy in the US posted on social media. This is insane.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Tom Cotton and Chuck Schumer agree on very little. But they both want to ban the U.S. government from buying or operating Chinese humanoid robots with The American Security Robotics Act. A device built in China, connected to networks, capable of moving through sensitive spaces, is a potential intelligence asset for Beijing. The U.S. already banned tech from companies like Huawei for similar reasons. Cotton: "Robots made by Communist China present obvious national security risks." Source: The Humanoid Hub

NEWS: DeepMind teaches robots to play soccer. In a paper released today Google's DeepMind details how they used Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) to train low-cost, miniature humanoid robots in dynamic environments, allowing them to play a simplified one-versus-one (1v1) soccer game. The robots, equipped with 20 actuated joints, were initially trained in simulation using the MuJoCo physics engine. Through this training, they learned robust and dynamic movement skills like rapid fall recovery, walking, turning, and kicking. The robots seamlessly transitioned between these skills, even surpassing expectations, and developed a basic strategic understanding of the game. During matches, the trained robots demonstrated agile skills such as turning, kicking moving balls, and dynamic defensive blocking. They quickly combined these skills, showcasing their adaptability and outperforming scripted baselines. The robots walked faster, got up quicker, and kicked faster than their counterparts. Individual skills were first trained in isolation within the simulation environment, and then composed in a self-play setting. The robots successfully transferred these skills to real-world scenarios. Full paper can be found here:
