This year, however, Wu found new partners in a crew of robots with impressive dance moves. The 27-year-old Sichuan native and his fellow robot performers have made it to the final of America's Got Talent (AGT), a stage he had long hoped to reach. Wu, a longtime science-fiction fan, described the experience of dancing with robots in the group Homies as \"magical.\" After months of training, his robot dancers now feel like more than just \"cold, lifeless machines.\" The robots, created by Chinese robotics group Unitree, feel like they have a \"team spirit\" while preparing for the AGT final.",
