Dancing Robots Steal The Show: A Marvel Of Technology Or A Cause For Concern?
In a recent concert in Chengdu, China, Taiwanese-American singer Wang Leehom stunned the audience with a troupe of dancing robots. The six humanoid robots, developed by Unitree Robotics, danced in perfect sync with Wang Leehom and human dancers, wearing costumes and moving fluidly to the music. Weighing just over 75 pounds and costing around $13,500 each, these robots are a marvel of modern technology.
The robots’ performance was met with a mix of awe and trepidation. While some, like Elon Musk, were impressed by the robots’ abilities, many online commenters expressed concern that this technology could replace human dancers and lower the quality of entertainment. Some worried that advancements in robotics could be better utilized in fields like engineering or medicine.
A TikTok video of the performance, posted by Channel News Asia (CNA) on December 22, 2025, accumulated 16 million views and sparked a heated debate. Reddit users, too, weighed in on the topic, with some joking that the performance marked the start of a new dystopian era. One user quipped, “Of all the things people were reasonably claiming automation would be good for.. this is probably number -37 on the list.
