In a world where human boxers are at risk of dangerous injuries, we may have a glimpse of what the fight of the future could look like. New footage shows the world's first humanoid robot boxing tournament, which took place over the weekend in Hangzhou, east China. In the bizarre clip, two lifesize robots wearing gloves and protective headgear fight each other in a ring as a human officiator looks on. Each fighter robot weighs about 35kg and is 4.3ft (132cm) tall – roughly the height of the average eight-year-old child. Both the bots initially have trouble seeing exactly where their opponent is before successfully trading punches and kicks, to the delight of a baying crowd.

ROBOTS SWARM: The automotive industry is undergoing a seismic shift driven by the integration of AI-powered humanoid robots into production lines. UBTech Robotics, in collaboration with Zeekr, has pioneered a groundbreaking initiative where swarm robots work together to build cars faster and more efficiently than ever before.

A humanoid robot has transformed from a nimble dancer to a martial arts master. In a stunning display of technological advancement, China's Unitree Robotics has unveiled its latest feat, a humanoid robot that can perform kung fu moves with astonishing precision and balance. The G1, Unitree's compact humanoid robot has transformed from a nimble dancer to a martial arts master, showcasing the rapid progress in robotics and artificial intelligence. Unitree's approach to developing the G1's skills is as fascinating as the robot itself.

Tech expert Kurt Knutsson examines the convergence of cutting-edge technology and traditional culture. In a stunning display of technological prowess and cultural fusion, Unitree's H1 humanoid robots recently stole the show at China's Spring Festival Gala, performing alongside human dancers in a mesmerizing rendition of the traditional Yangge folk dance. This groundbreaking performance marks a significant milestone in the world of robotics and entertainment.

What set this performance apart was not just the robots' ability to keep pace with the music and their human counterparts but their mastery of a particularly challenging aspect of the Yangge dance: the handkerchief trick.

The RoboCup Federation has announced new partnerships with three robotics companies: Booster Robotics, Fourier Intelligence and Unitree Robotics. The RoboCup Federation, an international initiative, uses the RoboCup competition series and challenges as a platform to promote and advance robotics and AI research. This partnership will bring together the expertise of the RoboCup community, and the networking and commercialisation opportunities that the three companies offer. The aim is that the companies' humanoid robot hardware will be used in future RoboCup competitions. RoboCup's President, Ubbo Visser, said "The RoboCup Federation is very excited to be partnering with Booster Robotics, Fourier Intelligence, and Unitree Robotics towards our joint goal of improving the state of the art of intelligent robotics through cutting-edge research and world-class development. I firmly believe that our collaboration will enable us to achieve significantly faster and more impactful progress than any of us could achieve independently".

Kurt Knutsson discusses what Unitree Robotics says is the world's most powerful humanoid robot. Have you ever dreamed of having a robot companion that can walk, talk, and do anything you want? Well, you might be closer to that reality than you think. A Chinese robotic firm has created what is now being dubbed the "world's most powerful general-purpose humanoid robot."

A recent study found robots that speak in a "charismatic" tone while directing a college class can boost creativity among humans. Artificial intelligence could soon start replacing household pets -- no vet bills required. As various types of robots continue to hit the market, AI-powered "animals" have arrived on the scene as well. One example is Go1, the world's first intelligent quadruped robot "companion" that is developed by China's Unitree Robotics. The robotic sidekick walks on all fours, much like a dog -- but there's no need for a collar or a leash.

If your real-life dog isn't as obedient as you'd like, a Chinese firm may have a perfect robotic replacement for you. Called Go2, the'intelligent quadruped robot' can dance, do a handstand while wiggling its legs in the air and even rush to greet its owner – just like a real pooch. It can also climb the stairs, play fetch, emit music from a built-in speaker and even take photos on command, which are sent straight to the owner's smartphone. A new promo clip shows the bot showing off its tricks, including jumping between rocks and even working its way around a hedge maze. Go2 is similar to the Spot robot dog from rival Boston Dynamics, although it's been designed for consumers at a hefty price tag of $1,600 (£1,240).

Based in Hangzhou, outside Shanghai, Unitree Robotics was founded in 2017 by Xing Wang with the mission of making legged robots as popular and affordable as smartphones and drones are today. In a showcase of the heavily Boston Dynamics-inspired company's recent progress, it has released a video showing its four-legged robot A1 balancing in a yoga-like pose. "Marc Raibert … is my idol," Wang once told IEEE Spectrum about the president and founder of Boston Dynamics. While the famous robotics company serves as inspiration for Unitree Robotics, the Chinese company wants to make "make quadruped robots simpler and smaller, so that they can help ordinary people with things like carrying objects or as companions," Wang told IEE Spectrum. In order to instill this accessibility into their A1 robot, Unitree Robotics, made it weigh only 12 kg -- just under half the weight of Boston Dynamics' Spot robot, which weighs 25 kg.

Chinese roboticist Xing Wang has long been a fan of BigDog, AlphaDog, Spot, SpotMini, and other robots that Boston Dynamics has famously introduced over the years. "Marc Raibert … is my idol," Wang once told us about the founder and president of Boston Dynamics. For more info: http://www.unitree.cc/e/action/ShowIn... SpotMini The new SpotMini looks much more polished and less grotesque, like a real-life cross between a Pixar animation and a robot out of a Neill Blomkamp vision of the future, thanks in part to series of bright yellow plates covering its legs and body. The new bot's movement also looks incredibly fluid.
