Humanoid AI-powered robots duke it out in China fight comp

Four artificial intelligence-enhanced robots have been put through their paces in a Chinese robot fighting competition, duking it out in kickboxing matches until one was declared the champion. The World Robot Competition Mecha Fighting Series had four human-controlled robots built by China-based firm Unitree compete in three, two-minute rounds with winners crowned through a points system, according to a May 26 report from the China state-owned outlet the Global Times.  Chen Xiyun, a Unitree team member, said the “robots fight in a human-machine collaborative way,” with the machines pre-taught moves, but ultimately, a person controls the bot’s movements. The robots reportedly weighed 35 kilograms and stood 132 centimeters tall source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/ai-powered-robots-fight-china-boxing?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
