Unitree's humanoid robots perform martial arts at Beijing's Temple of Heaven
Humanoid robots developed by China's Unitree Robotics, which stole the show with their eye-catching martial arts and parkour skills at the country's annual CMG Spring Festival Gala a week ago, has given another impressive Chinese Kung Fu performance at the Temple of Heaven, a well-known landmark in Beijing.
In a video released on Monday by Unitree, 50 humanoid robots in red vests assembled in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the main building at the Temple of Heaven, where they demonstrated their Kung Fu moves in perfect synchrony, such as backflipping, cartwheeling, and high-speed kickboxing.
The humanoid robots, along with those from several other Chinese robotics companies, grabbed the limelight during the 2026 CMG Spring Festival Gala, the world's most watched television program, which was broadcast on Feb 16, the eve of the Chinese New Year.
Performing alongside a group of young human actors, the robots executed complex martial arts routines, leapt from trampolines, and climbed walls, stunning viewers who tuned in from around the world.
Like their headline-grabbing performance at the gala, these humanoid robots marked a sharp contrast from what Unitree showcased at last year's gala, which featured less advanced versions of the robots twirling handkerchiefs in a folk dance.
