People — and Robots — Are Getting Ready to Celebrate the Lunar New Year in China
Four humanoid robots rehearsed traditional Lunar New Year performances including dance and martial arts as part of tech-focused temple fairs showcasing AI advancements.
- On Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, a media preview in Beijing showed dress rehearsals for four humanoid robots about 95 centimeters tall at a mall in western Beijing.
- Ahead of the Lunar New Year celebrated next week, venues across Beijing set up stages as the organizing committee said this year the number of robots has increased a lot with finer actions than last year.
- Startups including Booster Robotics will display around 20 humanoid robots performing traditional acts like dance, Peking Opera, martial arts, poetry, hawthorn candy, and soccer.
- Ren Zixin, director of marketing at Booster Robotics, said it is an AI environment where robots decide their own motions, but humans still assist when they stop, and curious onlookers watched rehearsals.
- China is scaling up development of AI-powered robots, and organizers said this fair will evolve with the trend, with robots taking center stage again.
