From the 2026 CMG Spring Festival Gala stage to a historic water town, humanoid robots are stealing the spotlight this Chinese New Year holiday.

After delivering a show-stopping martial arts performance at China Media Group's 2026 Spring Festival Gala, a group of robots brought their skills to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town in Kunshan, east China's Jiangsu Province, where they wrote calligraphy and joined a lively dance alongside robot dogs – drawing crowds and adding a futuristic spark to the festive celebrations.
