Major robotics companies like MagicLab, Unitary Robotics, Noetics Robotics, and Beijing Galbot showcased their latest research on humanoid robots, impressing the audience. Unitary Robotics participated for the third time during the Spring Festival. During this performance, the G1 and H2 humanoid robots performed a martial arts-based WoBot performance. Together with martial arts experts, these robots performed everything from horse stances and flips to nunchaku moves and drunken fists. The performance lasted over four minutes. All the robots performed their moves with ease, maintaining balance and coordination throughout the performance, demonstrating the technological advancement.
Robots from other companies also participated in the performance. MagicLab’s MagicBot Z1 robot performed a difficult 360-degree Thomas 360, while Noetics Robotics’ robots performed a comedy sketch. The robots performed moves like side flips and back flips on a 12-square-meter stage. At this event, a group of humanoid robots demonstrated how far robot technology has come, demonstrating motion control, balance algorithms, and real-time human-robot interaction. While Western companies are still developing robots like the Tesla Optimus and Neo, Chinese companies’ robots are advancing at a rapid pace.
