Humanoid robots with various skills wow visitors at World AI Conference in Shanghai 2025/8/1 source: Print

Humanoid robots showcasing remarkable skills dazzled visitors at the ongoing 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in China's Shanghai.

More than 3,000 AI products from over 800 hi-tech enterprises are on display during the event running from Saturday to next Tuesday.

At the smart terminal pavilion, visitors can witness robots handling complex tasks with unprecedented precision.

Visitors are amazed to discover humanoid robots performing complex street dance moves - and even writing elegant Chinese calligraphy with fluid strokes.

Humanoid robots from Unitree drew crowds with a lively boxing match, showcasing their agility and real-time balance control.

"During combat, the robot maintains stability through dynamic motor adjustments and can quickly recover after a fall," said Huang Jiawei, an exhibitor.

Beyond astonishing onlookers, many humanoid robots are designed for practical service roles.

One standout is a dual-armed robot capable of advanced fabric manipulation. It deftly folds randomly tossed garments while distinguishing between different clothing types-a breakthrough in handling flexible objects that demands powerful AI modeling.

Nearby, a robotic waiter operates with seamless precision. After taking an order, it autonomously navigates to a refrigerator, identifies the correct beverage, and delivers it-all without relying on pre-programmed movements.
