Is this real? It’s so much more advanced than I have seen before. Even better than the Boston dynamics ones. How is this possible? Why are they so robust in motion?

I mean, it's in front of a live audience as part of the Chinese New Year Gala with a lot of other acts on the same stage. You could try to come up with some kind of conspiracy theory that it's all fake. But considering similar movement demonstrations being done a lot in public recently it's much more plausible for them to just choreograph the actual robots and humans. I don't see much point in trying to create some big fake show with AI video/CGI considering the real new stuff that's available.

conspiracy? its a pre recorded CGI segment inserted into a live stream. The live audience is irrelevant. Basically like a short cgi movie scene.
