China plans to hold a military parade on September 3, 2025, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender. The parade is expected to showcase the People's Liberation Army's latest weaponry, including hypersonic weapons and advanced electronic systems. Given China's rapid advancements in humanoid robotics, as evidenced by performances at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala and the development of robots such as Unitree's H1, this market predicts whether humanoid robots will be featured marching in the parade. Resolution will be based on official footage and reports from the event.

"Robots' includes "Robot", 1 (one) humanoid robot present at the parade counts as "Yes"

The Humanoid robot must be marching on their own legs. Such a robot mounted on, or being transported on another vehicle does not count.
