It has not yet been determined which robot model will be used in the event. However, the promotional video features the company’s G1 and H1 robot models. The 1.32-meter-tall G1 model draws attention with its high mobility and artificial intelligence-supported control system.

In G1’s performance in the promotional video, it is seen losing its balance against a human opponent but quickly recovering. Although the robot’s agility still lags behind a human, it can detect and react to incoming attacks thanks to its advanced sensors.

The show fight between the two robots in the same video is also a rehearsal before the match. The robots are seen throwing not only punches but also kicks. The company’s 1.8-meter-tall H1 model is Unitree’s flagship with its larger structure, advanced processing power, and human-like mobility.

No clear date has been announced for when the match will take place. However, it has been reported that the event will take place within a month. The fight is planned to be broadcast live on Unitree’s own platforms.

The company is preparing to show the world the point robot technology has reached with a real-time fight. So what do you think about this? You can share your views with us in the comments section below.
