Robots will learn to fight according to the rules of martial arts at the level of living athletes in the coming years, says Alexey Bogdanov, chief designer of JSC NPO Android Technology.

On September 18, a staged fight between blogger Frankie LaPenna and the humanoid robot EngineAI T800 took place in San Francisco, in which the robot won by technical knockout.

Alexey Bogdanov believes that the skills of humanoid robots for sports or dance performances do not provide any particular technological benefit, but help attract additional funding.

MOSCOW, September 25 - RIA Novosti. Robots will learn to fight according to the rules of martial arts at the level of living athletes in the coming years, says Alexey Bogdanov, chief designer of JSC NPO Android Technology.

On Friday, September 18, a staged duel between American blogger Frankie LaPenna and the humanoid robot EngineAI T800 took place in San Francisco. The robot, controlled remotely by an operator, won by technical knockout.

“I think we have to wait about another year or a year and a half for real fights. Yes, robots have already learned to hit, but in any case, a trained athlete can deal with such robots without any difficulty,” Bogdanov told RIA Novosti.

The expert noted that the skills of humanoid robots intended for sports or dance performances do not have any particular technological benefit, but are used for advertising purposes.
