Humanoid robots delivered a multi-faceted performance at the China Media Group (CMG)'s New Year Gala aired on Wednesday, drawing attention for the combination of technology and stage artistry.
In a performance named "New Bot" staged in Shanghai, singer and dancers were joined by humanoid robots, who can perform backflips, play the drums, and move in sync with dancers.
On the gala's main stage in Lyuliang City, north China's Shanxi Province, robots performed as part of a live band, playing instruments including the guitar, keyboard and drums.
Another humanoid robot also assisted a magician during a magic act, interacting with the performer by passing props and applauding.
The gala featured more than 60 creatively designed performances this year and was aired simultaneously across CMG platforms, including CCTV-1, CCTV-3, major radio channels and new media platforms.
