Don't teach them to fight!!
Yep, some genius over in China has decided to create a kickboxing competition featuring hardfaced, hardfisted robots. Whilst they may not be very good right now - their moves seem fairly authentic but they don't seem to have much success in actually hitting each other - the ease with which they are able to jump back up after being knocked down certainly gives pause for thought.
They're only little ones just now, possibly to avoid the actual vision of actual human-sized robots kicking each other until they give in. It's all just good fun though, right?
Right??
Excellent overview! Your piece does a fantastic job of highlighting key aspects of this evolving technology. As someone who tries to understand the broader landscape and the different capabilities emerging, having access to a comprehensive humanoid robot directory can be invaluable. Your article is a great contribution to this ongoing discussion. Well done!
