Overview

If movies have taught us anything, it's that robots are going to play a big part in the future of humanity. For Taiwanese choreographer and inventor Huang Yi, that future is now. Just ask his robot companion, Kuka.

Kuka is the friend Huang Yi longed for as a child — and the feat of technology he has dedicated much of his time to as an adult. Together, they take to the stage in a display of dance and mechanical engineering. Blurring the lines between man and machine isn't their only aspect of their WTF 2016 performance that will take your breath away; knowing that Huang Yi spent ten hours programming for every minute of Kuka's movement is also certain to astonish.
