Four robots faced off in a boxing ring controlled by ringside humans, in a surprisingly enjoyable display of cyborg athleticism.  Created by manufacturer Unitree, the competing robots were able to throw hooks, jabs, uppercuts, a knee, a range of kicks, and were agile enough to get up off the ground. “I believe this is…
