Humanoid robots dance Xinjiang folk dances at new Urumqi robotics AI center

A new robotics AI center opened this week in Urumqi, China, with humanoid robots performing traditional Xinjiang dances — a demo that went viral locally. The author, an AI practitioner, argues dancing is exactly the right benchmark: it demands balance, precise movement, coordination and control systems that robots will need for factory and physical work — a signal that China's robotics are 'next level'.
