URKL Shanghai drew 5000 fans as T800s showed new moves
URKL's Shanghai stop on September 19 sold out 5,000 tickets, showcasing new T800 techniques including the "carp bridge" recovery and multi-robot coordination.
The 2026 URKL city tour event in Shanghai on September 19 at Baoshan Gymnasium sold out both sessions, with 5,000 total tickets, according to the Baoshan District government. The event followed URKL's debut in Shenzhen in July.
T800 robots performed new techniques described as the "carp bridge" (a rapid recovery after being knocked down), "dragon movement" footwork, and "airborne knee strike." The article described the carp bridge as a coordinated torso and limb movement that generates torque to transition from floor to standing position. In one match, two T800s called White Eagle and Golden Flash fought as a team against another robot named Matador in a format the article called "end of the line" with multi-robot coordination.
The event was hosted by the Baoshan District government and organized by Shenqing Robotics Technology (Shanghai), a joint venture between Gucu Industrial and Zhongqing Robotics. The article stated that the Shanghai event marks a step in URKL's commercialization beyond the league's main season. Zhongqing plans to open a humanoid robot fighting club in October and is building a training facility in the Shanghai Robot Industrial Park with completion expected in October.
