On January 28, 2025, a special performance called Yang BOT amazed viewers at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Directed by Zhang Yimou, it mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology.
In the performance, human-shaped robots dressed in bright costumes danced yangko, a lively folk dance from northern China. This dance is often seen during festivals. The most exciting part came when the robots skillfully controlled handkerchiefs, a key element of yangko. Their mechanical arms moved perfectly, making the handkerchiefs spin and fly high in the air. This created a stunning mix of tradition and modernity.
These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. In 2021, Unitree’s robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced for Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation to move safely on the stage. Their strong joints helped them keep balance even during fast dance steps.
Zhang Yimou said the show aimed to use technology to “give new life to traditions”. It quickly became popular on social media. The robots won the hearts of millions. Young viewers called it “cool”, while older audiences loved its festive and joyful style. The Yang BOT program is a perfect example of how China’s technological progress and cultural pride can work together. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance side by side!”
