The 2025 Spring Festival Gala showcased a groundbreaking performance that seamlessly blended tradition with cutting-edge technology. This year, Unitree's humanoid robots took center stage with their innovative act, \"Yangge Bot,\" merging the vibrant energy of northeast China's Yangko dance with the precision of robotics.
\"Yangge Bot\" captivated audiences worldwide by demonstrating how technology can enhance and preserve cultural heritage. One of the performance's highlights was the robots' ability to manipulate handkerchiefs, a classic element of Yangko dance. Through precise mechanical arm movements, the robots sent the handkerchiefs twirling and soaring through the air, creating a dazzling visual effect that symbolized the fusion of tradition and modernity.
This performance not only entertained but also sparked conversations about the future of cultural expressions in the age of technology. By integrating robotics with traditional dance, Unitree has set a new standard for innovative performances, inspiring both artists and technologists to explore new frontiers in their respective fields.
