Robots Take the Spotlight in Shanghai’s First All‑Robot Gala

The night began at 7 pm on February 7 in Shanghai, where a Chinese company called Agibot turned the stage into a playground for 16 humanoid robots. For an hour, the crowd watched machines flip, spin, and walk down a runway with surprising grace. The robots kept perfect balance while moving in tight groups, showing how stable and reliable they can be during long routines. \n\nAgibot’s chief marketing officer said the event was more than a showcase; it proved that embodied intelligence can work in real social settings, not just labs. The robots performed music, dance, comedy, and even magic tricks that required precise timing and coordination. \n\nOne highlight was a duet between human dancers and the G2 humanoid robot, where the machine mirrored the people’s moves in real time. The D1 quadruped also joined a group dance, proving that even four‑legged robots can sync with humans. These collaborations hinted at a future where people and machines share stages in everyday life.\n\nThe show also featured the full line of Agibot robots. The A2 series handled navigation and interaction in a showroom, while the smaller X2 models walked and talked like people. The G2 line combined AI with precise handling, useful for factories, and the D1 quadrupeds tackled complex inspection tasks. By putting all models on stage together, Agibot demonstrated that its robots can work side by side without glitches. \n\nRather than focusing on a single breakthrough, the gala emphasized consistency across many robot types. The smooth transitions between acts showed that the company’s manufacturing and supply chain can support large‑scale deployments. This marks a step toward using humanoid robots in everyday business and cultural events, moving beyond isolated pilot projects. \n\nThe evening ended with applause for a new era where robots are not just tools but performers that can entertain, assist, and collaborate with humans in public spaces. \n\n
