Reference Message Network reported on April 27 that according to a report from the UK Independent website on April 25, a Chinese robotics company announced it would host the world's first humanoid robot fighting competition. A promotional video showed a 1.32-meter-tall robot practicing boxing with a human opponent, dodging strikes and maintaining balance.
It was reported that Unitree Technology, headquartered in Hangzhou, said that the G1 robot is equipped with an action capture system, enabling it to perform at a professional level and continuously learn new skills.
The video also showed that the robot could throw punches, kick legs, and regain balance after being hit hard, although its movements were much slower than those of humans.
It was reported that in April, Beijing hosted the world's first half-marathon race with humanoid robots participating.
Unitree Technology is one of several Chinese companies planning to mass-produce humanoid robots.
China is already the largest industrial robotics market in the world, accounting for more than 50% of global installations.
According to data provided by Fortune Business Insights, last year China's industrial robotics market size exceeded $6 billion.
According to Global Data's forecast, by 2030, the robotics industry market size will exceed $200 billion, and humanoid robots will play an important role.
Other Chinese companies have also showcased non-industrial robots, such as robots that can care for the elderly or do housework. (Translated by Zhao Feifei)
