Watch synchronized humanoid robot Kung Fu demo at Beijing temple

Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics showcased a synchronized martial arts demonstration featuring dozens of its G1 humanoid robots at Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. The robots performed coordinated Kung Fu-inspired moves—including punches, kicks, flips, and trampoline jumps—executed with precise timing and agility. This display followed their appearance at China’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala, where the G1 robots delivered what was described as the world’s first fully autonomous humanoid robot cluster Kung Fu performance. Additionally, Unitree’s H2 humanoid robot appeared dressed as the Monkey King, riding on quadruped robot dogs, symbolizing New Year blessings. Unitree aims to scale up production significantly, planning to ship around 20,000 humanoid robots by 2026, up from 5,500 units shipped last year. The company emphasizes that large-scale real-world deployment is the next major challenge for the robotics sector, focusing on integrating embodied AI systems to enable autonomous navigation in complex environments.
