Chinese Robots Dance Into America’s Got Talent Finale
Wu Yufei is a dancer from China who performs with robots.
His robot team has made it to the finale of America’s Got Talent.
They dance together and use movements inspired by kung fu.
The robots can learn complicated routines and repeat them.
Some performances included swords, poles, nunchucks and drunken boxing movements.
These routines require the robots to balance and recover after falling.
Humanoid robots have also appeared at a fashion show and boxing demonstration in Seoul.
These shows demonstrate that robots are being used for entertainment as well as factory work.
