It doesn’t look like they’re autonomous to me, it looks like they have a pre-programmed set of movements (like the kick-variants we’re seeing, and the “get up” motion), and being controlled by someone outside the ring. That also fits with the way they’re missing: it’s hard to get proper alignment when you’re looking from the side, and the pattern for how they’re missing looks a lot to me like how you often miss if you try to line up e.g. a remote controlled toy car on an opening to drive through when you’re sitting off to the side.
Oh absolutely! It’s cool as hell! I think it could be even cooler if they put a camera in the robots head so that the controller could get the right point of view, that would probably make it more easy to be accurate.

Oh yeah, totally.
Still really futuristic!

Stereoscopic vision with a VR headset would be an experience … until the head gets knocked off, lol
That being said, a lot of the movements are fast and jerky, so it might just be a nausea maker
