Video: Humanoid robot dances to viral Bollywood track in India

At Techfest 2025 held at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, a Unitree G1 humanoid robot delivered a live dance performance to the viral Bollywood track “Fa9la” (also known as “Sher-e-Baloch”) from the film Dhurandhar. This event, part of the International Humanoid Summit, showcased the robot’s advanced engineering capabilities in a public and creative setting, blending technology with entertainment. The robot’s choreography was closely synchronized with the song’s rhythm, demonstrating smooth, stable, and coordinated movements enabled by its articulated frame, electric actuators, real-time motion control algorithms, and integrated sensors like depth cameras and LiDAR. This performance was part of a broader trend where humanoid robots are increasingly featured in live stage settings to test and showcase their balance, timing, and adaptability under dynamic and unpredictable conditions such as lighting changes and sound vibrations. Similar demonstrations have occurred recently, including synchronized choreography by Unitree G1 robots at a concert in China with singer Wang
