Highlights of the world’s first humanoid robot kickboxing tournament
China recently held a kickboxing tournament for humanoid robots, bringing all the highlights together in one place.
Six Unitree G1 humanoid robots and the humans operating them fought for the top spot called “the world’s first combat competition featuring only humanoid robots.”
Each “fighter” is a Unitree G1 EDU model, the most advanced robot in Unitree’s G1 lineup, armed with special combat training such as straight punches, hooks, kicks and knees.
The Unitree G1 robot slugs it for the top spot.
These robots can be controlled by voice commands, motion sensing, or remote control. Unitree says each control method has its advantages and disadvantages. Remote controls are used to control robots in this competition because they have lower latency and are easier to learn than voice commands.
I’m behind the control CES’ Unitree G1 Robot And the company’s GO2 Pro Robot The remote control on the CNET HQ was very intuitive and I found a similar feel to the video game controller I grew up in.
Black’s “AI Strategist” fought against Green’s “Power Core Guardian.”
After four matches of the robot-on-robot massacre, including at least one epic knockout, the black robot called “AI Strategist” won the top award.
