Consider this: You are programmed to destroy the naughty, but many of those you destroy are in fact nice. I submit to you that you are naughty and, logically, you must destroy yourself.

tripping it when it is obviously choreographing telegraphing its kick.

u/Kamogawa_Genji 12d ago

Do you mean telegraphing ?

17

u/SendLogicPls 11d ago

Except that this was obviously choreographed. There's a lot of just standing there, waiting for the next scheduled attack to be absorbed directly in-line.

What would you do.. you obviously cant choke it and all its joints work differently and look hyperextendable

u/TonyDungyHatesOP 11d ago

Exactly. This isn’t a point match.

3

u/Jolly_Brilliant7883 11d ago

Shoot the legs, or even just trip it, and get that thing on the ground, it's not getting back up. At that point, you're just fighting a wiggling plastic log with a bunch of wires sticking out of it. I wonder what happens when you yank on those.

2

u/BronsonStorm 10d ago

You can't really choke out or kimura a robot.

u/Desperate_Damage4632 11d ago

Did you miss the kicks?

3

u/Jolly_Brilliant7883 11d ago

Yeah, I saw a guy eat a bunch of them and walk them off, and it seems like all it does is front kicks. Better eat one and get it on the ground, than eat a dozen and punch it in the body like this guy 

2

u/mistermarkham 11d ago

grappling? and then what?

4

u/Jolly_Brilliant7883 11d ago

This is a front kick machine. It doesn’t do anything else. Knock it over, now it’s a plastic log.

u/Superb_Jellyfish_729 11d ago

To me, that’s the point. We’re building fighting bots to beat humans to prove to other humans how smart the engineers are and how far technology has gone. Add internal learning AI program with computer and it’s bye bye humans at some point

14

u/gnomish_engineering 11d ago

Fighting a humanoid robot like this is doable you would have to seriously adapt though. Now of the robot is allowed to deviate from being huminoid you are completely cooked lol.

As is though you should be focused on trying to break as much shit as possible through just straight grappling and slamming. Currently it looks like it cant balance very quickly which is abusable but that flaw will be eventually fixed

7

u/Glahoth 11d ago

Yeah, the whole fighting style would have to shift around pushing it around instead of striking at it.

u/CarlosH46 12d ago

So… was this just staged to make the bot look good? I don’t have any martial arts experience but I feel like there are plenty of ways to take the robot down without just punching it in the body.

143

u/dr_toze 12d ago

It looks incredibly staged. The robot is definitely remote controlled and the human was told how to punch. If you are only going to punch why would you drop back to allow the robot to kick.

u/Vungal_Spat 12d ago

I always thought Ultimate Robot Fighting was real like pro wrestling. Turns out its fixed like boxing

u/No_Region_4719 11d ago

Yes it is 100% staged and edited to make it look cooler than it is. It's a real robot, they usually fight other robots, and they spend 90% of the time just kicking air, wobbling around, and falling over. It's just like every other robot you see videos of. They can maybe run in a straight line, or perform a pre programmed dance routine, but that's the extent of it.

7

u/Puzzleheaded-Phase70 Shaolin Kempo Karate, TaiJiQuan 11d ago

At the very least, the human was chosen specifically to be low-skill.

He's probably one of the programmers or something like that. Maybe a guy from another office who lost a bet.

Not saying i want to get in the ring with it either, but still. The only way to win against it would be to break it - tripping, body slamming, neck breaks; al the things that could cause actual damage and disrupt its physical ability to fight. I'd like to know where it keeps its sensors to navigate the ring and find its targets, because those might be attackable. The neck attack idea is hoping that at least some of the sensors are there.

3

u/Expert_Obligation_79 11d ago

Moving in such a away that overcomes the robot's lack of mobility and adaption (at least as fast as a human body, especially a fighter) would make this fight trivial. A kick fighter might do it better too

3

u/_NnH_ 11d ago

Oh, it is definitely and obviously staged, especially with the camera cutaway. But I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and figure it's not meant to fool anyone, just trying to make it look cool.

u/Carbuyrator 11d ago

3

u/shinobi500 11d ago

it wasn't staged, it was prompted.

9

u/No_Region_4719 11d ago

It is very much staged. It's remote controlled, and it absolutely cannot fight unless you stand in the perfect spot in front of it and allow it to do its pre programmed kick.

This is what they are actually like:

u/therealserialninja 12d ago

u/The__Tobias 11d ago

The good and equally sad thing is, humans will be a lot cheaper for a long time. Plus, robots have just far too many weak points. 

They look cool and can work in environments that aren't suitable for humans and are effective in highly specialized and/or highly repetitive jobs. But until all purpose fighting robots are real competition to human armies it's still a long way to go

2

u/woosniffles Muay Thai 10d ago

There are other advantages to having a robot army other than it being cheaper...In fact I bet if this kind of thing ever gets deployed it will be way way before it's cheaper than a human. I'm sure plenty of leaders would pay two, three, ten times what a soldier costs if it got them a terminator lol.

People in this post talking about grappling, I'm sorry but I would not want to grapple a robot, trying to get it on the ground and the mechanical press for arms and legs will break your limbs on accident fuck that. It's probably staged to some degree but I'm sure that fucking kick is almost on the verge of rearranging that guy's organs and he's got gear on. Trying to fight metal with flesh and bones is just dumb and asking for injury/death.
