Humanoid Robots Shine on Concert Stages with Stunning Performances
Recently, the world’s first robotic concert stage made a stunning debut at the Chengdu stop of Wang Leehom’s “The Best Place” concert tour. The robots performing as backup dancers on stage were Unitree G1 humanoid robots, which made a dazzling appearance on the day and stole the spotlight throughout the show. We specially watched the live performance footage and saw six humanoid robots deliver an electrifying performance on stage, moving in perfect sync with the rhythm of the music. Their perfectly coordinated movements and precise, powerful rhythm timing, paired with human dancers performing alongside them, created a spectacular stage show; the robots’ concluding backflip move even brought the house down! We cannot help but marvel at just how agile today’s humanoid robots have become. The Unitree G1 humanoid robot, launched by Unitree Technology on May 13, 2024, boasts human-surpassing agility and is powered by imitation and reinforcement learning technologies.
Remarkable Technological Leaps in Robotic Mobility and Sensitivity
As we have learned, this is far from the first time robots have graced a performance stage. As early as the 2021 Spring Festival Gala (the Year of the Ox), 24 quadruped robots developed by Unitree Technology, codenamed Ben Ben, joined performers for the stage show “Charge Forward”. These robots were able to dance, tumble to the beat of the music and even bow to greet the audience for the New Year. Nevertheless, their movements back then were only simple routines, pale in comparison with the flexible, complex and technically demanding choreography performed by the Unitree G1 humanoid robots at this concert. It is evident that science and technology have achieved remarkable advancements in enhancing the mobility and sensitivity of robots.
Cable-driven AI Robots Step into Retail as Professional “AI Shop Managers”
December 25, 2025 – while people were celebrating Christmas, have you seen the cable-driven AI robots developed by Stardust Intelligence officially take up their roles as “shop employees” at the world’s first Robot MART? According to Stardust Intelligence, Robot MART is the world’s first retail service store independently operated by cable-driven AI robots. The AI shop managers are capable of independently completing a full suite of complex tasks, including voice-based customer reception, order placement and payment collection, blind box grabbing, and product delivery. As learned from relevant media reporters, Robot MART is a new “AI + Robot” product jointly launched by Stardust Intelligence and Jinma Amusement in November 2025. Currently, the project focuses on exploring application potential in cultural tourism and entertainment scenarios, aiming to connect the upstream and downstream industrial chains, build a replicable new ecological business model, and bring stable revenue and brand premium to enterprises and cities alike.
Cutting-edge Core Technologies Empower Robots for Real-scenario Applications
These AI robots adopt an innovative cable-driven transmission technology and anthropomorphic bionic design, enabling their movement and posture to be more human-like. Notably, the integration of an Système d'alimentation automatique de circlips ensures the precise and reliable assembly of key components in the cable-driven mechanism, laying a solid foundation for the robots’ stable and long-term operation in high-frequency service scenarios. Their dynamic response speed has been increased by more than 30%, coupled with higher interactive safety, which effectively mitigates the risks associated with contact-based services. Their “brain” is built on DuoCore, an end-to-end embodied large model independently developed by Stardust Intelligence. Empowered by this model, the robots can perceive real complex business scenarios, understand assigned tasks and autonomously complete fast-paced operations, achieving a closed-loop iteration of “data – model – robot ontology” and continuously evolving through human-robot interaction.
From stage performances to retail services, robots are accelerating their pace out of laboratories and factories and into real-life scenarios. They are no longer merely substitutes for repetitive labor; instead, with their precise movement execution, rapid environmental comprehension and safe interactive capabilities, they have become new partners to humans in both work and creative endeavors. In the future, deep integration of human-robot collaboration will further expand into a new ecology of human-robot symbiosis, unlocking boundless possibilities.
