REK

Two new leagues, REK (Robot Embodied Kombat) and UFB (Ultimate Fighting Bots), have announced competing humanoid robot fighting events in the US, partnering with Unitree. The move signals a new commercial push for ''Real Steel''-style, VR-piloted combat, but technical and safety challenges remain.

From viral brawls to organized tournaments, humanoid robots are stepping into the combat arena, promising technological leaps and a new form of entertainment.
