On the American audition program 'America's Got Talent,' Wu Yufei, a renowned dancer from China's Sichuan Province, appeared leading humanoid robots.
On the public audition program 'America's Got Talent,' broadcast by NBC on the night of June 2nd, the renowned dancer Wu Yufei from Sichuan Province, China, appeared leading eight humanoid robots manufactured by the major Chinese robotics manufacturer Unitree Robotics. Wu danced with the robots, and the robots showcased a series of difficult actions, including precisely synchronized dance steps, backflips, and walking adjustments, all performed with fluid movements. Their impressive performance captivated both judges and the audience.
The judges exclaimed, 'These robots understand rhythm. It was truly magnificent and awe-inspiring.' Wu ultimately received unanimous votes from all four judges and advanced to the next round.
For this performance, Unitree Robotics provided the robots and technical support.
The robots that served as backup dancers were the company's G1 model robots. These are from the same series of humanoid robots that performed the 'Wu BOT' dance, incorporating kung fu movements with students from a martial arts school, during the CMG New Year's Eve gala 'Spring Festival Gala (Chunwan),' a traditional event on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve in February this year.
According to publicly released information, robots in this series are approximately 132 cm tall, weigh about 35 kg, possess flexibility exceeding that of humans, and are endowed with infinite possibilities in terms of movement. Furthermore, G1 robots are equipped with 3D laser radar and a full-body state perception model, and they feature a pre-trained full-body RL model, giving them rapid movement capabilities and the ability to integrate complex actions.
Since Wu unanimously passed in the program, he will appear again in the next round of 'America's Got Talent' in September this year to compete with his performance. (Provided by CGTN Japanese)
