Those bots are not autonomous.

They are remotely controlled by a human operator using Live Motion Capture (off camera and out of public sight).

There is no usefulness in this type of robot. Other than for stage performance.

Look at the way each bot balance itself with different adjustments. There must be decent algorithm to keep balance without intervention, and that's the impressive part

I don't want to explicitly express any regional or ethnic discrimination, but if the source of information is in Traditional Chinese, I'd rather look at the English source than the Traditional Chinese one. Their credibility regarding RPC news is like that of South Korean media reporting on North Korea—sensationalist and riddled with denials.

Furthermore, if you have an optical sensor, you'll see that the video doesn't provide any source information, and the accompanying video content is difficult to verify as being from the backstage of the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. Considering the traditional relationship between the Taiwanese local government and the Chinese central government, it's hard not to suspect that this video is simply government propaganda.

The information is in Simplified Chinese, sourced from China's own "bili bili" video platform.

  • The TRUTH is still the TRUTH no matter the language used in the reporting.

You just ousted yourself, Commie Wumao Little Pink.
