ROBOT BOXING

Chinese robotics company Unitree just dropped the announcement for what they claim will be the first ever boxing match between humanoid robots. The event is called “Iron Fist King: Awakening!” —which, let’s be honest, sounds more like an arcade game from the early 2000s than an actual tech showcase. But apparently, it's happening. In about a month. And yes, they’re promising punches. Between robots. For real.

They’ve already released a teaser video showing two of their machines squaring off in what looks like a training session. The bots throw punches, move around with a certain flow, and even stumble a bit —as if the video’s trying extra hard to look real because not everything looks polished. Still, it’s hard to buy it completely.
The movements feel… off. Too smooth to be robotic, too clunky to be cutting-edge animation. It sits in that uncanny valley where your brain goes: “Nice try, but I’m not sold.” It smells more like well-done CGI packaged as “look what we can already do,” rather than something truly happening in real time.

Are we getting closer to actual robot sports? Maybe. Are we seeing a real one here? Yeah, not likely.

Then you watch a recent clip of a Chinese “police robot” in action —supposedly real— and suddenly your hopes drop. If that’s what’s going to stop crime, we’re in trouble. In the future, maybe. For now? It barely charges your phone and works as a glorified alarm clock.

They talk about reducing “human error.”

Then Thailand introduces its first police robot, and the only thing you see online are AI-generated promo clips. It’s starting to feel like there’s an international race to show off who gets there first —kind of like the space race back in the ‘50s between the U.S. and the USSR.

Here’s a look at the robots that are actually on the market today, including their size, cost, and where they’re made.

A sweet memento from their first date.

HOW THEY'RE MADE

You see them every day, silently waiting for you to choose. You approach them, size them up, take a deep breath, and pick the ones that motivate you the most—and from that moment, there’s no turning back. They’re part of your daily routine, helping you grow stronger and push your limits. But behind these workout companions you grip so firmly lies a story you've never imagined. Have you ever wondered how they're made, or how they come into existence?

REVIVING ICONS

Now we can see Marilyn Monroe talking on an iPhone, Lincoln moving his lips as if he's about to deliver a speech, and Einstein gesturing while explaining a theory. Even the Mona Lisa is no longer just a static image—she seems to observe us with an almost lifelike expression.

Thanks to AI, these historical figures come to life in motion, as if instead of being immortalized decades or even centuries ago, it had only happened a few weeks back. Strange, but also fascinating. It won’t be long before we see them telling their own stories.

THE FUTURE OF ROBOTS AND THE EMPLOYMENT DILEMMA

It’s becoming increasingly clear that androids will soon be part of our daily lives, taking on household chores, grocery shopping, and even jobs in factories, logistics, and construction. Automation is advancing with the goal of reducing costs and increasing profits, but this raises a major issue: if robots take over our jobs, where will we get the money to live? If too many people are unemployed, who will buy the products these companies produce?

There are two possible scenarios. One is the creation of a new economic model, where automation forces the implementation of a universal basic income to ensure financial stability for those who can no longer find traditional jobs. This way, consumer spending remains active, and the economy avoids collapse.

The other scenario is a transformation of the job market. Just like the Industrial Revolution eliminated some jobs but created many others, automation could generate new professions we can’t yet imagine. Humans might shift towards creative fields, tech-driven roles, or industries where empathy and human interaction remain irreplaceable.

What’s clear is that if we want a future where robots make life easier without triggering social collapse, we must rethink the economic model. Technology is progressing, but without a strategy for adaptation, the risk of a consumption crisis is real.

THE KUNGFU BOT FROM UNITREE ROBOTICS COULD REPLACE YOUR BOUNCER

Unitree Robotics is a Chinese company specializing in advanced robotics. Founded in 2016 by Xingxing Wang and based in Hangzhou, the company gained fame for its robotic dogs, known for their agility, stability, and affordability compared to competitors like Boston Dynamics.

Although these robots are often marketed as tools to assist humanity in research, industry, and consumer applications, the truth is that they could also be deployed in warfare. Best not to dwell on that too much—like drones, they are a total game-changer.

For now, let’s focus on Unitree Robotics' latest masterpiece: the Kungfu BOT, a bipedal version of their robotic dogs with a humanoid appearance and the ability to perform an impressive 720-degree spinning kick. Imagine facing one of these if you step out of line at a bar!

MOTORPORN VOL68

There are machines that aren’t just driven—they’re felt. Engines that roar like they have a life of their own, bodies sculpted for desire, and exhausts spitting fire as if defying hell itself. This isn’t just speed; it’s a spectacle. A ritual of power, precision, and pure mechanical pleasure. Here, there are no limits—just a relentless passion for gasoline.
