Sixteen Humanoid Robots Dance K-pop in Times Square in Galaxy Demo

Robotics & Automation News reported on Oct. 8 that Galaxy Corporation, a South Korean entertainment-technology company, organized a synchronized performance by 16 humanoid robots in New York’s Times Square. The event served as a demonstration of how robotics can be combined with K-pop and other entertainment content.

Described as a K-pop “peace flash mob,” the performance was part of a series marking the United Nations International Peace Day. The robots danced in unison in a public setting, turning Times Square into a stage for a tightly choreographed routine rather than a traditional technology trade-show demo.

Galaxy Corporation is expanding into physical AI and robotics, according to the report. The company said the event was intended to show how humanoid robots can be incorporated into live entertainment and public performances. While technical specifications were not detailed, the display highlights a growing interest in using humanoid platforms as performers, not just industrial or service tools.

For the entertainment and robotics sectors, the Times Square showcase signals a possible path toward robot-driven public events, branded content, and hybrid live performances. It also underscores how K-pop’s global reach and South Korea’s technology ambitions are converging around physical AI.
