Kondo Robots Compete In Japan

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 11 of May , 2009 at 4:39 am

For better or worse, Japan is where it’s at when it comes to humanoid combat robotics (although we’re working on it over here, too). These are Kondo robots, who take each other on 1v1 trying to knock their opponent over or out of the ring. They’re remote controlled, and what’s interesting (to me, anyway) is how many different designs and fighting styles there are. You can see for yourself with a bunch more videos, after the jump.

Like this kind of stuff? Come to RoboGames! You know what to do.)
