How it works
Four human operator teams compete in a tournament-style series of boxing matches. Robots are controlled by humans in real time, and the organizers ran pre-event tests to refine the rules. Robots must have sufficient self-balancing ability.
Why it matters
It is a public, contact-based comparison of a commercial humanoid in a combat setting. Because the robots are human-operated, the format tests hardware and control interfaces rather than autonomy.
