Are you watching the Chinese New Year Gala? The Robot Kungfu show is mind blowing!!!
They just executed a coordinated martial arts routine with spatial precision, rhythm control, and dynamic balance adjustments in real time.
Kung fu, one of China’s most iconic traditional art forms , performed by machines built with cutting-edge AI control systems, advanced actuators, and high-speed feedback loops. Ancient discipline meets algorithmic precision.
Last year, humanoid robots stepped onto the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time. This year, they held synchronized kung fu stances with balance that would humble half of us after leg day.
And they did it live!!! On the most-watched television event on the planet.
The progress in just one year is magical.
That’s what we call China speed.
What makes it even sweeter is where this happened.
I love how the progress is integrated in culture. In celebration. In a Lunar New Year gala watched by hundreds of millions.
It’s music to my ears.
The robots didn’t look like they were “trying” anymore. They looked like they belonged.
Their joint articulation was smoother.
Their formation timing tighter.
Their balance recovery almost elegant.
Their choreography is expressive.
That’s what happens when AI models improve, control systems get smarter, hardware stabilizes, and iteration cycles compress.
One year in robotics today is not the same as one year ten years ago.
It’s compounding.
If this is what 12 months looks like,
imagine 36.
The Chinese New Year Robot Kungfu Gala is just futuristic.
It was quite the statement!
The future is getting better very, very fast.
It was so beautiful to watch. What do you think?
@jk_rowling Dear J.K. I admire you for as long as I can remember and I am a big fan of Harry Potter. Recently I grow curious about the concept of Phoenix 🐦🔥 What inspired you to apply it in the book ? Is there anything you would like to share about it ? ☺️☺️
Just hope that you can see it.
The reason why Elon Musk is making the future super exciting.
"Life can't just be about solving one miserable problem after another, that can't be the only thing, they need to be things that inspire you and that make you glad to wake up in the morning and be part of humanity."
ELON: IT’S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO BE USEFUL TO A LOT OF PEOPLE
“Try to be as useful as possible.
It may sound trite, but it's so hard to be useful, especially to be useful to a lot of people, where you say the area under the curve of total utility is how useful have you been to your fellow human beings times how many people?
It's almost like the physics definition of true work.
It's incredibly difficult to do that.
And I think if you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher.
Don't aspire to glory, aspire to work.”

My opinion on magic is the same as my opinion on women with dicks: neither are real. However, if you want to prove me wrong, by all means jump off a roof on a broomstick.
