Humanoid robots from start-up Unitree Robotics showed off their fighting skills at a unique kickboxing competition held in Hangzhou, China on May 25, 2025, a few weeks after Beijing hosted the world’s first half-marathon where these machines raced alongside humans. Organised by state-owned China Media Group and broadcast live by China Central Television (CCTV), the kickboxing competition saw four Unitree G1 humanoid robots square off in one-on-one matches where they punched, kicked and even did a kip-up – an acrobatic transition from prone position to standing position – after getting knocked down.
