In reality, current robot fighting is boring unless something malfunctions or breaks. It lacks what makes sport compelling, i.e. training, skill, rivalry, sportsmanship, and someone to root for. Prerecorded moves make for forgettable demos, not memorable moments or champions

When Real Steel meets real life! The world’s first humanoid robot fighting championship has kicked off in Shenzhen—32 teams, full-sized humanoid robots, real punches and high kicks. A heavyweight moment for robotics.

Side kicks. Blocks. 360-degree spinning kicks. Think only humans can pull them off? Think again. In Shenzhen, robots from 200+ teams worldwide took to the stage for the world’s first humanoid robot fighting league.
