Somewhere between The Terminator and Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots lies this glorious moment in history: the first-ever humanoid robot kickboxing tournament. Unitree’s G1 bots stepped into the ring, remotely piloted by humans safely outside the ropes, to trade punches, kicks, and knees in a bid for robo-glory. It’s part martial arts showcase, part tech demo, and part “uh-oh, this is how the uprising starts.”
