tournament

What is just over a decade was only science fiction today has become a real show. In 2011, the movie ‘Real Steel‘I imagined a future in which boxing fighting were starring machines. Fourteen years later, that image has ceased to belong to the cinema: China has just celebrated a Kickboxing competition starring humanoid robots. The event took place in Hangzhou and is part of the CMG World Robot Contest Series, an initiative organized by China Media Group, the largest state audiovisual conglomerate in the country. The competition was broadcast live through CCTV and other official platforms. Currently, a video summary of the tournament It is available on the Central Television website of China. As the aforementioned medium collectsIn the quadrilateral there were four G1 robots manufactured by the Asian company Unitree Robotics. They faced one against one in duels, demonstrating not only gross force, but also agility, coordination and, above all, balance. Of fist tests. Before the official fighting, each robot had its time to heat. The G1 showed their repertoire: lateral displacements, direct blows and reaction to the thrust. During the fighting, they were even able to execute a Kip-Upan acrobatic maneuver to get up from the ground without using your hands, after being demolished. The rules were clear. Three two -minute assaults. Valid blow score to the trunk or head, both with hands and feet. Penalizations if a robot could not get up in eight seconds after a fall. In case of draw, he decided the technical score. In the final, the robot controlled by an influencer called Lu Xin took the title. The competition comes a few weeks after another event that also captured worldwide attention: A Half Marathon held in Beijing where several humanoid robots ran alongside thousands of human participants. So are the G1. According to the manufacturerEach Unitree G1 measures 130 cm, weighs 35 kg and has an external cable design. It is articulated with up to 23 degrees of freedom, which are extended up to 43 in its educational version, and has advanced sensors for vision, movement and environment control. These are some of its key characteristics: Intel Realsense depth chamber D435i and 3D Lidar sensor Four microphones with noise cancellation and stereo speakers of 5 w Permanent magnet synchronous engines with a maximum torque of 120 n · m 9,000 mAh battery, approximate autonomy of two hours Displacement speed: Up to 2 m/s Eight -core CPU, Wi -Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity Possibility of adding the hand DEX3-1, with seven degrees of freedom and optional tactile sensors More than show. According to CCTV coverage, G1 have at least eight basic combat patterns and various complex combinations, such as straight punches, hooks and kicks scheduled. In addition, they have been designed to resist impacts, avoid overheating and maintain balance after receiving blows. Even when they fall, they are able to recover the vertical position in seconds. China already prepares new competitions with humanoid robots for this year, including a multi -sports event in Beijing. Meanwhile, other robotics based on the Asian giant seek to gain ground in homes. Huawei and Ubtech were recently allied to advance in the development of this type of automatons.
