“We’ve come full circle”: Robots dancing on stage in China has concert-goers asking if the expense is really necessary

The crowd went wild, but people reacting online are less enthusiastic. 

Taiwanese-American singer Wang Leehom surprised the audience when he took the stage with dancing robots at a concert in Chengdu, China, on Dec. 19, 2025. Clips from the performance show six humanoid robots dancing alongside Wang Leehom, wearing costumes and moving fluidly in sync with the music and human dancers.
