## Caption

A humanoid robot appeared to abandon its gymnastics routine and launch into an unexpected ballet performance after a bizarre malfunction at a competition in Beijing.

The machine suddenly began shaking, wobbling and spinning backwards, with its arms raised in an uncanny imitation of a dancer as spectators looked on.

The unusual footage comes as China rapidly expands its humanoid robotics industry, with competitions increasingly being used to test the machines’ movement and durability.
