China celebrated in the city of Hangzhou the first boxing tournament starring humanoid robots, says its organizer, the Chinese media group (CMG), in an event that combined real fighting with human control in real time and global retransmission.
During the event, called CMG World Robot Championship-Mech-Fighting Arena series, four G1 robots, developed by the Unitree Robotics company, competed in a ring using movement control algorithms and bionic structures designed to respond in milliseconds under their operators.
The fights were evaluated according to technical criteria such as the precision of the blows, the stability in motion and the recovery capacity after falls, which should occur in less than eight seconds accounted for by a real referee within the quadrilatero.
In the final, the AI Strategyist model was imposed with a rapid stroke of blows that destabilized its opponent Energy Guardian, after having received a knee in the first seconds of the assault, the state chain CCTV reported.
Despite the impact, both robots managed to return to their own means, demonstrating the effectiveness of their dynamic equilibrium algorithms.
According to sources from the organization, the fighting were made under collaborative human-machine format, in which technical teams executed attack combinations by manual controllers.
This modality was preferred against options such as voice control or movement sensors, due to the need for immediate response in situations of high demand.

Boxing championship helps robots in various areas
The robots used in the competition, of the UNITREE G1 model, measure 1.3 meters, weigh 35 kilos and have joints capable of exercising a torsion force of up to 120 Newton-Mimet, a measure that indicates how much force can apply a part of the robotic body-like a knee-when turning.
This capacity is key to performing demanding movements such as getting up after a fall, maintaining balance or executing precise kicks.
In addition to the competition, experts from the Institute of Affective and Cognitive Intelligence of the University of Beijing and the Laboratory of Security Standards in the Chinese capital offered live technical analysis to explain to the public the internal operation of the control systems and the strategies used.
Unitree Robotics, technical organizer with CMG, said that this type of tests serves to identify mechanical failures and improve the design of future models of industrial, welfare or domestic application.
This championship adds to a series of recent events that show China’s advance in humanoid robotics with corporate artificial intelligence.
In April, Beijing was the scene of the first half -urban marathon with robots, and Wuxi hosted the first national robots games, reflecting an institutional commitment to convert this technology into part of everyday life.
According to the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the humanoid robots market in China could reach 870,000 million yuan (121,052 million dollars, 106,419 million euros) in 2030, in a rapid development context of technologies linked to corporate artificial intelligence and its application in industrial and domestic sectors.
