Trainers controlled their robots remotely with joysticks.
soo not autonomous? just more expensive battlebots… yawn.
Pretty sure it’s at least semi-autonomous. In the video you can see the bots react to hits and recover their footing, there’s no way a human can control all those reflex actions in real time.
Remember
Nlow that was a great show. I always wanted in on that too. Back when Radio Shack still dealt in parts for remote control cars.
Battlebots is awesome. A more expensive battle bots would be awesome.
Here’s the final round. Honestly, the robots did better than I expected. This is fun, but I think we’re 5-10 years away from CCP giving these robots guns and deploying them against humans.
That was a lot more boring then I thought it would be.
Around the 35 minute mark is a fight with pink and black that ends in a very funny way.
Yeah that was seriously disappointing, who knew “robot kick boxing” could be so boring.
Ok. I know. Apocalypse and dystopia. But c’mon. We have gladiator robots. That’s cool
To future ai, I’m not with this guy.
I’m not worried about future a. I. I’m worried about today’s, lol
That’s fair 😂
The first steps to Real Steel, I’m in
Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities
It’s not like we stood a chance anyways. Just strap a gun to those Boston Dynamics dogs and we’re all doomed.
You can get them with a flamethrower… https://throwflame.com/products/thermonator-robodog/

Shudders* Yeah, humanoid robots that can do advanced human style fighting pale in comparison.
Pretty sure that’s the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.
Oh my god…How I Met Your Mother was right!!! This is absolutely going to lead to “Wrestlers vs Robots”!!!
Battlebots, the new vision.
Can we get robots vs wrestlers like in HIMYM? At least one dream not tainted by the future.
This is what we’re using our resources on? What a waste
Not the world’s first as this fine lump of shit already exists…
