🎉 As the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations kicked off across the Chinese mainland, cities spiced up the festivities with a futuristic flair: smart robots and drones took center stage! From dazzling dance routines to mesmerizing sky shows, the blend of tradition and tech left audiences in awe.
Shenzhen city is known as a tech powerhouse in Guangdong Province, and this year it didn’t disappoint. After sunset, agile robots transformed into dancers for the Yingge folk dance, a vibrant mix of opera, martial arts, and colorful moves. But the real showstopper was a troupe of humanoid robots nailing the intricate "Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva" choreography with jaw-dropping precision.
One highlight was a solo performance by a humanoid robot whose swift footwork got kids cheering and clapping along. “I find the robot quite agile, especially its feet and hands. Dancing alongside the robot brings me joy,” said Gan Zixuan, an excited spectator. 🤖❤️
Meanwhile, other cities joined in the fun: drone fleets painted the night sky with festive patterns, weaving lanterns, moon shapes, and vibrant colors into living, flying art. 🚁🌕 The joint use of robotics and aerial displays brought a fresh, tech-driven vibe to these traditional celebrations.
Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a cultural buff, or just curious, these high-tech holiday shows are a reminder that innovation and tradition can dance side by side, lighting up our celebrations in ways we never imagined.
