Moving in precise synchronization, they line up and take their respective positions to form the number 2026.

They even showcase natural dance moves, riding the rhythm to the music.

This was the scene at the Guinness World Record attempt for a group dance by humanoid robots, held on the afternoon of the 24th at the Yellow River International Convention Center in Shandong Province, China.

[Scene from the Guinness World Record attempt for humanoid robot group dance (afternoon of the 24th) : We attempted the Guinness record for the largest number of humanoid robots performing a group dance, and ultimately 110 units danced. We succeeded in breaking the Guinness record.]

The humanoid robot Logiced Expedition A3, created by Chinese robotics company AgiBot, broke the Guinness record.

While there have been many group dances by humanoid robots in China previously, this is the first time that mass-produced robots, rather than products custom-built for performances, have set a Guinness record through a group dance.

According to the company, AgiBot's robots stand 1.75 meters tall, similar to humans, can navigate by making autonomous decisions, and perform designated area patrols and guidance tasks according to central control.

These robots have already been deployed on a pilot basis for guidance and service support tasks at some exhibition sites and subway stations, and the company plans to full-scale increase their field deployment starting at the end of this year.

In China, humanoid robots are already being test-operated in various fields, ranging from pharmaceutical sorting and parcel delivery to performance demonstrations.

So-called emotional humanoid robots, featuring human-like facial appearances, hairstyles, and even skin, have also emerged.

These are robots that interact and converse with people at home while sharing some household chores, and they are known to have already sold over 10,000 units.

However, concerns over overproduction are also emerging as more than 140 robot companies in China have already released around 400 models.

In particular, for humanoid robots, practical application fields remain limited outside of testing and research purposes, leading to forecasts that it will take a considerable amount of time to form a solid market.
