Shougang Group showcased its two industrial robot "artistry" in hall 1.

Visitors expressed great interest in the two "robot artists" -- one of which was playing electronic keyboards while the other was writing Chinese characters. Although the former machine could only play very simple music and the latter spent 1.5 minutes on a single character, the duo, nevertheless, stole the show.

According to a Shougang engineer, the robots were in fact demonstrating six industrial functions, including welding, cutting and carrying.

The manufacturer, Shougang Motoman Robot Co Ltd, is China's first robot manufacturing and sales company.
