IT Home reported on November 5, citing The Paper, that an interesting phenomenon has emerged: robot fighting performances this year are less entertaining to watch than last year’s. Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of Unitree Robotics, said at the Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence Industry Innovation and Development Cooperation Forum of the 9th Hongqiao International Economic Forum that autonomous robot fighting was a concept Unitree proposed in 2025, more than a year ago.
Wang Xingxing said an interesting phenomenon is that fighting performances are now less entertaining to watch than last year’s. He attributed this to robots’ poor stability in the past, which made the fights feel more combative; today, their stability has improved substantially, and they remain steady on their feet no matter how they are struck, so there are fewer scenes of robots being knocked down or falling over.
IT Home learned from the original report that Wang Xingxing also presented Unitree Robotics’ fully autonomous robot fighting, achieved using an end-to-end world model: the robots capture images in real time, and the model directly infers and makes decisions.
