Who would watch robots fight like this. They can’t even do anything. They have no idea how to fight whoever built them has no idea how yo fight. Its like watching blind people spam moves until something lands.

For most people seeing robots even move like this at all is considered crazy

Most people are also thinking if they have reached this point, where will they be at in 5 - 10 years

  I would agree if the movement looked dynamic.

    you don’t think a flying roundhouse kick to the head looks dynamic?

    No it doesnt. It looks like the same kick over and over. It fights like the guy who has trained 1 kick 10,000 times and has no sense of distance.
    
    I dont think the robot can properly move or throw the same kick slightly different. It can just detected a target and fire off a generic kick. Mechanically its cool but we’ve plenty of examples of robots doing these acrobatics.
    
    Idk maybe it would be better if it was actually trying to do real martial arts. If this thing dynamically circled and popped a well timed jab with some head movement I would be extremely impressed.
