"AGIBOT NIGHT goes beyond a conventional product showcase and marks a milestone for humanoid robotics, demonstrating how embodied intelligence is moving from laboratory experimentation into real-world social and cultural settings," said Qiu Heng, Chief Marketing Officer of AGIBOT. "By sustaining complex, high-intensity performances, this event serves as a real-world test of stability, consistency, and system-level coordination across multiple robots operating simultaneously. This also represents an early step toward the human–robot symbiosis we envision.
On-Stage Performances Demonstrating Advanced Motion and Coordination
Throughout the gala, AGIBOT humanoid robots delivered a series of visually striking stage performances that tested the limits of dynamic motion and coordination. The show featured high-difficulty movements including flips, rapid turns, synchronized group dances, and runway-style performances, all executed with fluidity and balance. Large groups of robots performed in tightly coordinated formations, maintaining precise timing and motion consistency while transitioning seamlessly between different performance segments, highlighting advanced locomotion control and stability under continuous operation.
Beyond robot-only performances, AGIBOT NIGHT also explored collaborative scenarios between humans and robots, as well as multi-robot interaction. In several segments, human performers danced alongside AGIBOT G2 humanoid robots and AGIBOT D1 quadruped robots in coordinated group routines, demonstrating real-time alignment between human movement and robotic motion. Other acts included card magic performed jointly by robots and human magicians, classic floating illusion performances executed entirely by robots, and comedic skits involving multiple humanoid robots interacting on stage, illustrating increasingly natural timing, role coordination, and expressive behavior.
The gala also featured a series of co-branded showcase segments, where AGIBOT humanoid robots appeared on stage alongside well-known consumer and lifestyle brands. Through these joint performances and presentations, AGIBOT NIGHT demonstrated how humanoid robots can integrate into diverse commercial and cultural contexts, extending their presence beyond industrial and technical environments into everyday consumer-facing scenarios.
From Technical Validation to Scalable Commercial Deployment
The robots appearing on stage during AGIBOT NIGHT represented AGIBOT's full-spectrum humanoid robotics portfolio, demonstrating AGIBOT's ability to deploy embodied intelligence across diverse real-world scenarios. The full-sized A2 Series humanoids handled multimodal interaction and autonomous navigation for presentations and showrooms; the compact half-sized X2 Series delivered natural conversation, human-like walking, and expressive movements ideal for entertainment, research, and education; the industrial G2 Series combined interactive AI with precise force-controlled manipulation for fast deployment in factories and logistics; while the D1 Series quadrupeds demonstrated reliable mobility and task execution in complex inspection and operational environments.
Rather than emphasizing individual technical breakthroughs, AGIBOT NIGHT highlighted large-scale consistency and stability across multiple robot types operating simultaneously. As of the end of 2025, AGIBOT has delivered more than 5,000 humanoid robots worldwide. The level of coordination and reliability demonstrated during the live performance reflects the AGIBOT's growing commercial maturity across manufacturing, supply-chain integration, and system-level deployment, key indicators that humanoid robotics is moving beyond limited trials toward repeatable, scalable delivery.
More importantly, the event was staged during the Chinese Spring Festival, a period centered on family, emotion, and social connection, placing humanoid robots within a culturally meaningful and emotionally resonant context. By integrating robots into music, comedy, and interactive performances, AGIBOT NIGHT explored the potential transition of humanoid robots from purely productive tools to participants in shared social experiences. This cultural framing offers a perspective on human–robot coexistence that extends beyond industrial automation, pointing toward a future in which humanoid robots increasingly engage with everyday human life.

ANSHUN, China, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 21, at the Guizhou Anshun Tourism Development Conference, Mafengwo Travel Group officially launched three flagship "New Mountain Play" benchmark projects — Huangheying Water Cave, Lotus Ancient Cave, and Luoyang Glasswater Gorge — while jointly releasing the 2026 Anshun Mountain Outdoor New Play Playbook with the Anshun Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, TV and Tourism. By redefining mountain outdoor travel experiences through "new play," the initiative injects fresh momentum into Anshun's positioning as an international mountain tourism destination.
"Personalized travel is rising rapidly. Tourism is transitioning from a 'sightseeing economy' to an 'experience economy.' More than just 'having been there,' travelers today seek emotional value from scenic spots and related projects," said Chen Gang, Founder and CEO of Mafengwo, in a speech titled *Co-creating the Super Play Era of Mountain Tourism*. He noted that leveraging benchmark new-play projects such as Huangheying Water Cave, Lotus Ancient Cave, and Luoyang Glasswater Gorge, Mafengwo will work with Anshun to integrate "new play, new formats, new marketing, and new consumption" into a holistic innovation ecosystem for destination-wide play. Together, they aim to revitalize natural resources, energize industrial momentum, link rural revitalization, and jointly build Anshun into a national hub for new mountain play.
At a time when travelers are increasingly weary of "man-made check-in spots" and homogenized internet-famous projects, the newly launched projects abandon the old path of large-scale construction. Instead, they return to the wild itself, adopting a "light development, heavy experience" approach to create mountain plays that are "wild on the outside, refined on the inside." Huangheying Water Cave focuses on "natural wonders + interactive adventure," using its original "water-cave" karst features to create a genuine sense of "underground exploration." Lotus Ancient Cave, based on a massive natural cave, integrates "light ultimate" activities such as via ferrata, rappelling, and cave drop towers, allowing ordinary visitors to feel adrenaline-pumping "heart-racing moments" in a natural setting. Luoyang Glasswater Gorge follows the original river course, using natural elevation differences to design trails for hiking, canyoning, and waterfall rappelling, with minimal artificial construction, emphasizing the pristine "glass water" and an eco-harmonious, back-to-nature mountain experience.
At the "2026 Anshun Mountain Tourism New Play" sharing session, Mafengwo Travel Group and the Anshun Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, TV and Tourism jointly released the *2026 Anshun Mountain Outdoor New Play Playbook*. Ten selected plays in non-traditional mountain settings were featured, including "Night Tour of Dupo Tang — Immersive Journey into the World of Journey to the West," "Watch Intangible Cultural Heritage 'Spider-Man' Climb Cliffs for Bird's Nests," and "370-Meter Free Fall at Balinghe Bridge." These showcase how Anshun creatively uses its karst landscapes as a natural "amusement park" for mountain experiences.
He Weihong, Vice Mayor of Anshun, stated in his address: "In Anshun, the 'City of 21°C,' mountains are no longer just scenery to be viewed. They are living fields to be climbed, immersed in, jumped over, and breathed in. Anshun will take this conference as an opportunity to accelerate the internationalization of its mountain tourism and build a first-class mountain outdoor sports destination." During the event, Anshun Tourism Group also promoted its mountain outdoor travel routes.
By early 2026, the number of outdoor sports participants in China had exceeded 400 million, with participation in mountain hiking, trail running, rock climbing, and canyoning rising year by year. Driven by the dual trends of "nationwide fitness" and "pan-outdoor" activities, mountain play is moving from niche circles to the general public. Unlike the high barriers of traditional outdoor activities, Anshun's new plays target the blue ocean market of "light ultimate + strong experience + high shareability." Whether it's a "bridge bungee jump," checking out the natural wonder "Eye of the Great Sage," or experiencing a "Journey to the West fantasy" at night by Dupo Tang Waterfall — these activities are novel, beginner-friendly, and serve as natural content and social currency.
Anshun's mountain play innovation has also attracted international attention. Anouar, Chief Representative of the Tunisian National Tourism Office in China, noted in his speech that Anshun's innovation in integrating mountain tourism and sports is worth learning from for many international peers. He noted that Tunisia has diverse mountain resources across the country, with history embedded in the mountains and culture in the scenery — this is the unique charm of Tunisia's mountains. He looks forward to China-Tunisia cooperation to explore more mountain tourism opportunities and co-create new partnership models.
An international dialogue session brought together representatives from the Norwegian National Tourist Board, Visit Flanders (Belgium), and the Saudi Tourism Authority to discuss mountain outdoor tourism upgrade from a global perspective. The guests agreed that they were delighted to see that Anshun is not simply replicating a "Switzerland of the East" but is creating an entirely new "universal language of mountain tourism." The internationalization of mountain tourism is not about imitation but about excavating the unique narratives of local landscapes — with its green mountains and clear waters as the canvas and play innovation as the brush, Anshun is painting a vibrant new picture for the world.
A domestic dialogue session brought together frontier explorers, practitioners, and experts in mountain sports tourism to discuss the future development of mountain sports tourism from the perspectives of communities, products, and operations. Qin Chuan, Founder of Wanan Youth Travel, noted that with technological advancements and equipment iteration, more and more "outdoor novices" without professional training can enjoy the pleasures of the wild. Currently, Wanan Youth Travel is selecting and developing "super single products" and continuously improving service quality to deliver ultimate outdoor experiences to visitors.
After the conference, industry guests conducted on-site inspections of new play projects, including Lotus Ancient Cave, Dupo Tang Night Tour, Anshun Ancient Town, and Getu River. Wang Yu, Chief Representative of the Norwegian National Tourist Board in Greater China, remarked: "Anshun and Norway share many similarities. Anshun's new mountain plays emphasize 'light development, heavy experience.' Take Lotus Ancient Cave — it doesn't feel like a 'designed' scenic spot, but rather an extension of Anshun's natural mountain charm itself, an experiential field you can fully immerse yourself in. The scale of this 'light ultimate' experience is just right — thrilling enough, yet truly authentic."
