The performance took place on Oct. 24 at the Yellow River International Convention and Exhibition Center in Jinan, Shandong Province, according to Global Times.
The full-size Expedition A3 robots danced in formation, jumped and performed coordinated movements while repeatedly changing positions. During the performance, they formed wave-like patterns and arranged themselves into numbers, including 2026.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator attended the event, verified the number of participating robots and presented an official certificate.
According to AgiBot, all 110 robots were standard production models rather than machines specially modified for the performance. The company used its LinkBots control system to coordinate the robots' movements, combining 5G and Wi-Fi communications with positioning technology to keep them synchronized.
It said the technology could coordinate hundreds of robots, potentially allowing them to work together in public services, tourism, research and education. Some of its humanoid robots are already being tested at exhibition venues and subway stations, where they assist with visitor guidance and other services, according to South Korean broadcaster SBS.
Shanghai-based AgiBot is the world's largest humanoid robot maker by shipments, delivering more than 8,600 units in the first half of 2026 and accounting for approximately 35% of the global market, according to research firm IDC.
The performance comes as China accelerates the development and production of humanoid robots.
Chinese companies developed more than 400 humanoid robot models and produced over 40,000 units in the first half of 2026, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Annual production is expected to exceed 100,000 units.
However, industry experts say humanoid robots still face challenges involving reliability, adaptability and operating costs before they can be widely deployed in workplaces and public spaces.
