The real performance of "Steel Arena"! The China Robot Fighting Championship has started, and the arena becomes a rehearsal for future battlefields.

After China held its first robot marathon just last month, it held a robot fighting competition on 5/25, which can be called China's version of the "steel ring", which opened the eyes of the audience. But it was also interpreted by the outside world as China's ambition to show its own robot technology to the world, and some netizens said after watching: "In the future, fighting with the PLA may not even be able to see real people."

The Bots martial arts tournament is starting, with punches and kicks coming in all forms.

The combat competition of the "CMG World Robot Contest · Series" organized by China Central Television kicked off in Hangzhou on May 25. At the venue, it was evident that the robots could not only punch but also execute different techniques such as kicks and knee strikes. Some robots were hit, but after a few seconds, they got back up, ready to fight again.

These Bots are controlled by the operator's wireless remote. In the video, it can be seen that the range of motion in the joints of the Bots on the arena is quite limited, and both flexibility and perception abilities need to be improved.

How to play the game? Three rounds of nine matches to compete for the total score.

According to the organizers, a simplified version of human boxing rules will be adopted:

Effective hit areas: limited to the head and torso.

Scoring method: Hand hit 1 point, leg hit 3 points, hitting the limbs does not count.

The official competition consists of three rounds, with three matches in each round, and the final outcome is determined by the total points.

Frequent practical situations require resolution of dynamic control limits.

Although it's remote-controlled, there are still many unexpected situations. Some Bots swing their fists in vain and lose their balance, falling to the ground. Others retreat to dodge but get stuck in the ring ropes, and there are cases where both sides get entangled and need the referee to pull them apart.

These scenes left the audience both surprised and delighted, while also revealing the challenges that current Bots face in real dynamic environments. Experts have indicated that these advanced Bots still encounter issues such as delays and errors in the information transmission from sensors to joints during actual combat, which can lead to inaccurate timing in strikes and the body not keeping up with commands.

From marathons to fighting competitions, China continues to showcase its technological muscle.

In fact, China held the world's first "humanoid robot marathon" last month and is now launching a fighting competition. The outside world generally believes that by consecutively hosting robot events, China aims to showcase its technological prowess to the world.

According to reports, although CCTV emphasizes that this is merely a "science popularization display," some engineers have pointed out that this competition is actually a super important integration test, equivalent to verifying on-site whether hardware can work with software to execute a complete process. Moreover, it is believed that in the next five to ten years, the hybrid operation method of humans controlling Bots on the battlefield is likely to become mainstream.
