From Japan’s ROBO-ONE league.

From Japan’s Kanto Robot Heavyweight Championship

Finally, here’s some folks from MIT’s Biomimetic Robotics Lab showing off nine of their Mini Cheetah ‘bots playing soccer, among other things:

While these are all RC (for now), you’ve undoubtedly noted that despite their clunkiness, they’re all mechanically capable of taking to their feet after being knocked down. This is something I hoped no robot would be able to do–pushing them over is likely to be our last line of defense.
Extended Viewing
As mentioned above, the full wrestling video (with excited narration in Japanese) is pretty freaking funny, even if you can’t understand what’s being said. Sneak a peek at it while you’re waiting for something to render.
