Mobile World Congress Read our complete coverage of Mobile World Congress Updated less than 20 minutes ago Honor had a busy day at MWC 2026 on Monday, showcasing its Augmented Human Intelligence vision and ALPHA PLAN that seeks to transform the company into a leader in human-centric AI ecosystems.

Besides unveiling its highly anticipated and rather quirky Robot Phone, the Chinese company also introduced MWC attendees to its first-ever humanoid robot, the somewhat unimaginatively named Honor Robot. Honor’s bipedal bot took to the stage during a special event, performing a dance routine alongside some professional human dancers who, as they pulled their impressive moves, may have been wondering how long it’ll be before they’re replaced by these increasingly advanced contraptions. As the human performers danced, the Honor Robot, which it has to be said bears a striking resemblance to Unitree’s G1 robot in terms of both size and design, strutted onto the stage and busted some grooves before launching into a moonwalk that Michael Jackson himself would’ve been proud of. Next, in an impressive show of faith, Honor CEO James Li arrived on the stage to interact with the robot. And it wasn’t a disaster. Li even asked the Honor Robot to perform a somersault, which it did with aplomb. In another video , the tech company revealed just how far its new humanoid robot has progressed, with clips showing it falling over in the most awkward ways possible. Without giving too much away, Honor said that its robot will focus on three core scenarios: shopping assistance, workplace inspections, and supportive companionship. Regarding supportive companionship, the plan is to build embodied AI devices capable of recognizing people, understanding their needs, and providing personalized physical assistance from the very first interaction, the company said in a release. Honor is entering an incredibly competitive sector already populated by a slew of companies vying for supremacy. Still, with the right strategy and bold innovation, Honor may have a chance of carving out its own niche.
