Two humanoids boxed at AGIBOT Innovation Day in Shanghai, and one robot's hand came off, per a video report
dotdotnews and Italpress report that two humanoid robots traded punches at AGIBOT Innovation Day in Shanghai until one hand flew off. Models, control mode and date of the bout are not stated.
Two humanoid robots traded punches on stage at AGIBOT Innovation Day in Shanghai until one robot's hand came off, according to a short video report published in early November.
The account comes from the Hong Kong outlet dotdotnews, which ran it on 7 November under the headline "Robot boxing gets 'out of hand'", and from the Italian agency Italpress, which carries the same story. Both describe the same moment: two humanoid robots exchanging punches at what they call the recent AGIBOT Innovation Day, and one robot's hand flying off. The two reports appear to rest on the same video, so they count as one source, not two.
AGIBOT, a Shanghai robotics company, held its Innovation Day in late October. TechTimes reported on 6 November that the company unveiled its GO-3 Preview robot model at its Shanghai event on 29 October. Neither report we read says on which day the boxing took place.
What is not known. The reports do not say which AGIBOT models were boxing, whether people were controlling them remotely or the robots were acting on their own, how long the exchange lasted, or whether anything was damaged beyond the hand. We found no AGIBOT statement about the incident. We have not reviewed the video ourselves.
Why it is here. This was a company demonstration, not a fight in a league: there is no card, no result and no scoring. Roboxing records league events on its schedule, so this item is filed as news only, for readers following robot boxing in China.
