From Folk Dance to Drunken Fist: The 1-Year Robot Leap 🤖🚀
If you want to see how fast embodied AI is moving, just look at the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Check out this side-by-side comparison (2025 vs. 2026). In just 12 months, we’ve transitioned from the steady, rhythmic "Yangko" dance to high-dynamic martial arts mastery and urban parkour.
The 2026 Unitree H1 (Fuxi) didn't just walk; it executed:
🔥 3-meter aerial flips and backflips.
🔥 Drunken Fist martial arts with fluid, human-like instability.
🔥 Table-vaulting and complex obstacle navigation.
Why this matters for industry:
This isn't just "showbiz." This performance marks the global debut of high-speed cluster-control technology and new dexterous hands capable of stable gripping and rapid tool-switching.
We are watching the gap between "experimental lab tech" and "real-world agility" close in real-time.
As we move through the Year of the Horse, the "sprint" toward humanoid robots in factories and homes is officially on.

Six humanoid robots from China’s Unitree danced in perfect synchronisation and even performed acrobatic flips alongside singer Wang Leehom at a concert in Chengdu, drawing global attention and praise on X.

"China is moving quickly to try to dominate the industry. Humanoid-robotics companies are sprouting up from Shenzhen to Suzhou, with more than 140 and counting. Tapping a vast ecosystem of parts suppliers and engineering talent, they are starting to produce humanoid robots at scale and actively introducing them into real-life scenarios in factories, hotels and offices.
Setting the broader industry direction is Beijing, which has identified “embodied AI”—the fusion of artificial intelligence with physical systems—as a cutting-edge technology area China wants to own in the coming five years.
Local governments are showering companies with land and discounted office rent. Banks are offering favorable loan terms.
Since late 2024, Beijing, Shenzhen and other cities have established investment funds totaling more than $26 billion to inject capital into the industry, Morgan Stanley calculates.
Government agencies and state-owned companies are also serving as early adopters, buying up humanoids and deploying them in museums, at events and on the street as robocops performing traffic control. The deployments are helping firms to build a market and collect data to make the robots work better.
Some local governments are offering subsidies to buyers, paying around 10% of the price of humanoid robots to lower the bar for customers to try them.
(...)
With humanoid robots, “China is once again mobilizing state support, supply-chain depth, and rapid commercialization to build a new strategic sector,” said Sunny Cheung, a fellow for China studies at the Jamestown Foundation. Success will depend on who can best solve the myriad technical problems associated with humanoid robots, he said.
The industry is still in its early days, and it may take years to take off—if it ever does. Skeptics say humanoid robots are a bubble, and may never find a true use case."

This #SpaceX Situation: Not Good!
by Jason Koebler, Feb 5, 2026
Excerpt: "There are many reasons that 'AI data centers in space' may be a pipe dream and may not happen, but what he is proposing is a magnitude of #SpaceJunk that no other company could plausibly promise to launch. Data centers or not, SpaceX is now dominating #LowEarthOrbit in a way no other company or country has. While Musk has been gutting the federal government, interfering in #elections, allowing people to generate #CSAM, engaging in white supremacy, planning trips to #EpsteinsIsland, implanting #chips into people’s brains, siphoning off taxpayer money to build ridiculous tunnels, giving his sperm to whoever will take it, turning his cars into experimental robot taxis, and pretending to build #HumanoidRobots, #SpaceX has somewhat (?) quietly #colonized and dominated low earth orbit.
"Musk has taken this space for his own use, concerns about #LightPollution, satellite collisions, and telecom #monopolies be damned. This has always been concerning, but explicitly intertwining the aspirations and fate of SpaceX with Musk’s CSAM generating social media website, his #AIBullshitMachines, and his right wing political project is horrifying and monopolistic. What happens next, I have no idea."

@SteveThompson So Elon wants a captive market for his #HumanoidRobots instead of a competitive one? Not too surprised.
Still struggling to identify a use case for these. I doubt the in-home market will materialize in any meaningful way.
Humanoid robots are intended to be general purpose, but we can't even get autonomous cars working well and they do relatively well-defined tasks in maintained environments with actual sign posts and human oversight, and they're leaning on decades of design refinement specifically tuning them for their jobs.
And practical factors like "can it get out of the way when I need to use the fridge?" and "who can see its camera data?" and "what happens if it falls on my child when the dog jumps up on it?" are just as problematic.
So what is the use case for humanoid #robots? Does anyone actually need a flaky and unpredictable privacy-free mobile camera that is either bad at everything or okay at one job that it isn't physically optimized for?
