What Did the Video Show?
The teaser video, named “Unitree Iron Fist King: Awakening!”, gave fans a sneak peek at what’s coming. In the video, we see a Unitree G1 robot practicing moves against a human. The robot is not as fast as the person, but it quickly gets up after being knocked down. Later in the video, two robots are shown getting ready to fight each other. Their movements look like martial arts, making the action feel more like a futuristic kung fu movie.
When Is the Fight?
Unitree has not shared the exact date of the fight or which robot models will be involved. But many believe that the G1 model will be the main fighter. There is also a chance that the bigger H1 robot might take part. Tech website Interesting Engineering mentioned that both robots could be in the match.
