More than 500 humanoid robots in 280 teams from 16 countries, including the U.S., Germany and Japan have wrapped up 3 days in its very first games, like Olympic type games, but not without any technical difficulties.

Games like soccer, track and field, tennis,  boxing, and more. Rock-N-Sockem Robots has come to fruition.

"My robot can beat up your robot"

This is the automated future that I wanted. Let me see that robot hit the other robot's capacitor clean off!

There was a robot boxing movie, Reel Steel, that was a fun exploration of this idea. These, of course, were controlled by a human, but I think that it would be interesting to teach karate and other martial arts to AI and put them in a ring together.

Humans has been attempting to replace humans one way or another. Whether it’s practical or fantasy, you see it a lot in movies and such.

Some of this desire is to make life much easier for us humans. Granted , that sounds good to me but I love to work and do things for myself.

Interested if in the far future that we’ll have robots that are like Data from Star Trek: Next Generation?!?

I’m old school because, well, I’m old!!
