At this year’s MWC in Barcelona, Honor showcased its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot. And how do you know a robot is any good these days? Of course, by its ability do dance!
This being Honor‘s first robot, and having seen numerous botched robot launches recently, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Honor’s robot managed to surprise by being quite a dancer, performing a live act next to actual human dancers on stage in Barcelona.

After a short chat with Honor’s Robot phone, which didn’t feel weird at all, the robot walked out just as elegantly as it walked in. Pretty impressive for Honor’s first try.

Of course, we don’t know if the robot was acting autonomously or whether it was remotely controlled by a human. We also don’t know any of its specs, or when it might turn into a real product.
The thing about robots, though, that it’s pretty hard to fake them; one little mistake and it could stumble off stage. Honor’s did a great job today; we’ll see how it develops over time.
