CONFIRMED: 110 Expedition A3 humanoid robots from Chinese company AgiBot set the Guinness World Records title for the most humanoid robots dancing simultaneously, in Jinan, Shandong Province, China, on October 24, 2026.
According to the Global Times, the robots performed synchronized routines and formation changes using AgiBot's LinkBots swarm-control platform and ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning technology, accurate to centimeter level. The display included repositioning, jumps, flips and formation changes. RobotToday reports the performance lasted 5 minutes and 43 seconds.
The value of the feat lies in large-scale coordination, not in proof of industrial work: keeping 110 mobile machines moving in sync, without losing position, is the central challenge tested here. This is an editorial interpretation, not a claim by AgiBot: a rehearsed dance in a controlled setting does not prove the same robots already work with the same reliability in factories, streets or homes, where lighting, surfaces and unexpected obstacles interfere.
The same caution appears in the original coverage. Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that changes in lighting, ground surfaces and unexpected obstacles can affect robot performance, and that small errors can accumulate during prolonged tasks. At the same time, he said large-scale coordination could help lower per-unit operating costs as robots share capabilities gained in real use.
According to the company, after the event the robots will be deployed in cultural and tourism performances, public services, scientific research and education. The Global Times also records the Chinese context: at an October 19 press conference, an official of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said Chinese companies had developed more than 400 humanoid robot models and produced more than 40,000 units in the first half of 2026, with annual production expected above 100,000 units.
