Russian robots won Olympic gold in China

If you thought the London Olympics was the only major international competition on this summer, you would be wrong: in the city of Fujin, in China’s Northeastern Heilongjiang province, robots were in a heated dancing competition.

29 teams from countries including China, Russia, Mexico and Korea competed in nine categories, including solo dance, pas de deux, group dance, ballet, yangge, street dance and folk dance. A pair of giant panda-shaped robots drew attention as they had to move over 20 joints in costumes when they were dancing.
