🤖 Android Knocks Out a Human

San Francisco hosted the first-ever fight between a human and a humanoid robot. Influencer Frankie LaPenna took on the T800, an android built by the Chinese startup EngineAI and fitted with a Terminator head.

A straight kick from the robot knocked him off his feet and ended the bout; LaPenna says he broke his hand on the machine.

A human operator piloted the T800, but REK, the outfit staging the fights, plans to put fully autonomous androids in the ring against people eventually.
