Inspired by a scene of two robots fighting in box ring in the 2011 movie Real Steel, a small team of three in Weihai, China has been trying to build a fast teleoperated robot. Qibbot, as called by its creator, minics the movements of a real fighter in "unprecedented speed". With a latency of merely 12 millisecond, this robot might have already been the fastest in the world.

, but these have completely different purposes, and most tend to be small and only move at slow or medium speeds. “Fast speed is the first priority of fighting robots,” Geng says.

With teleoperated robots, there are a lot of different aspects that factor into their speed, including communication, interface, actuation, transmission, the controller, and computation.

To help QIBBOT achieve high speeds, Geng’s team focused on addressing issues related to the robot’s mechanics and controller. They first built an accurate kinematics and dynamics model, which they used to optimize QIBBOT’s mass distribution, mechanical structure, actuation, and communications. Then, in addition to using a conventional feedback controller that works reactively, they designed a new feedforward controller, which proactively responds to the motion commands from the VR controller. This approach cancels some of the latency caused by other components in the system, according to Geng.

They put their robot in test against an AI-guided opponent robot that learns and adapts while fighting, as shown in this video:


To create a formidable robot opponent that is guided by AI, Geng and his colleagues combined several different existing AI programs. Collectively, these programs help the autonomous AI-guided opponent distinguish between attack and defense, generate fighting strategies, and reference a library of data on the parameters for specific fighting scenarios. As seen in the video above, the AI opponent can learn moves while in the midst of a fight with the robot guided by Geng.

The team is also designing a new model with dual arms and more joints in the arms and body.

Your VR fantasy will come true, but your living room will look like a crime scene.

will invest more capital into the real economy and innovation-oriented sectors to achieve self-reliance in science and technology. In H1, middle and long-term outstanding loans of businesses in the high-tech manufacturing industry stood at RMB 2.5 Trillion, up 41.5% YoY. as per Ministry of finance ..

Can't wait to see this in gyms best of sparring with none of the head injury and other drawbacks

Good hopefully policies will be implemented to insure scientists and engineers gets a fair piece of the pie for their innovation's market value and not get gobbled up by shareholders and upper management

China curbs exports of drone equipment amid U.S. tech tension​


China on Monday announced export controls on some drones and drone-related equipment, saying it wanted to safeguard "national security and interests" amid escalating tension with the United States over access to technology.

The restrictions on equipment including some drone engines, lasers, communication equipment and anti-drone systems would take effect on Sept. 1, the commerce ministry said.

The controls would also affect some consumer drones, and no civilian drones could be exported for military purposes, a ministry spokesperson said in a statement.

i'm not really sure what to make of this, because I'd imagine they still want to sell military drones to countries they want good relationship with like Arab ones. Maybe this is to fend off some of the western pressure over dual purpose drone sales to Russia.

Le Maire said the three challenges the two countries should work together on are the green transition, reorganisation of value chains, and technological revolution, while also raising market access issues for French companies in the banking, nuclear, cosmetics and agricultural industries.

"It is essential to think about the expansion and deepening of economic and financial cooperation between France and China," La Maire said. "We would like to welcome major new investments from China to French territory."


In a news conference after the discussions, Le Maire said important advances had been made in French-Chinese relations in the cosmetics, aerospace, food and beverages, and finance sectors, while He said the Chinese side appreciated France's decision to extend Huawei 5G licences in some cities.

This was a great meeting I think. China fixing market access issues for French companies & French respond by allowing Huawei 5G licenses in some cities. don't just gripe about this. It reduces NATO efforts in locking out Huawei & countries in EU that might want to use Huawei products

Presumably there's a lot of horse-trading going on with DC behind the scenes, and this is part of it? Of course, PRC can grant export licences to whomever it wishes.
