Hello there! I'm one of the Unitree G1 humanoid robots. Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart.
Many robots are built for display rather than action. Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance.
Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala.
Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world's brightest stages, right on cue(恰好准时) with my fellow robots. We were there to perform.
At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely(正对着地) on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us.
At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move.
In 2025, full-sized humanoid robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling(转动) handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We've improved a lot since then.
Videos of this year's show have gone viral(走红) online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. "It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film," one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, "What will robots do next?"
That question excites me because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones.
And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education—performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, "I want to build something like that one day."
The gala was my debut(首次亮相). The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward.
