Humanoid robot Oli performs classical Chinese dance alongside humans

The article highlights a unique cultural and technological fusion in Shenzhen, China, where LimX Dynamics’ humanoid robot Oli performs classical Chinese dance alongside human dancers at prominent cultural sites. The one-minute video showcases Oli moving gracefully with traditional dancers against backdrops such as Shenzhen Bay, Talent Park, and the historic Gankeng Hakka Town, blending centuries-old heritage with cutting-edge robotics. The performance emphasizes Oli’s fluid, ballet-like movements and its ability to harmonize with human performers, symbolizing a seamless integration of art and technology. Oli stands 165 cm tall, weighs 55 kg, and features 31 degrees of freedom, enabling highly natural and precise motions. Its design focuses on agility, modularity, and perception, incorporating advanced sensors—including Intel RealSense depth cameras and a 6-axis IMU—and supporting external sensors like LiDAR for 3D environment mapping and object recognition. The robot’s modular architecture facilitates rapid reconfiguration for research and development, while connectivity options and compatibility with platforms
