Hangzhou made history this weekend as host of the world's first humanoid robot fighting competition, organized by China Media Group. The event, titled CMG World Robot Contest: Mech Combat Arena Competition, culminated in a dramatic victory for AI Strategist – a combat machine that demonstrated both technical precision and strategic adaptability.
The Battle Unfolds
Competitors faced strict combat protocols: three two-minute rounds per match, with points awarded for targeted strikes. Arm hits earned 1 point, leg strikes 3 points, while head/torso contact remained valid but unpointed. Knockdowns triggered 5-point penalties, with 10-point deductions for failure to recover within 8 seconds.
Key Matches Highlight Technical Prowess
In the opening match, Lu Xin's AI Strategist overcame Jiao Tianqi's Silk Artisan through calculated aggression. After losing the first round to precise leg strikes, the eventual champion adapted its tactics, delivering a match-ending knee blow in the final round.
The second match saw Hu Yunqian's Energy Guardian defeat Chen Liangyu's Armored Mulan through consistent performance, capitalizing on early knockdowns and opponent errors.
Significance for Tech Development
This competition marks a milestone in humanoid robotics, testing machines' balance systems, impact resistance, and real-time decision-making capabilities. Such events provide valuable data for researchers working on disaster response robots and advanced automation solutions.
