"If machines ever fight a war against humans, it'll probably be fought with modern weapons of war - bullets, bombs, and perhaps plasma weapons a la "The Terminator" - in a conflict, the robots will presumably dominate against us sacks of flesh and blood. Heck, the AI could even just bioengineer a virus to wipe us out. And even if the battlefield were somehow constrained to kicks and fists,"
"A new video shared by Chinese industry titan Unitree, for instance, shows off a new six-foot-tall H2 humanoid robot that's capable of pulling off some seriously impressive moves. The lanky bot can be seen performing an impressive air kick while coming eerily close to the head of a human engineer standing nearby, destroying watermelons hung up above its head height with a mighty foot, and even sending two heavy punching bags spinning after delivering yet another powerful blow."
Futuristic conflicts against humans could involve modern weapons—bullets, bombs, and plasma—leading to robots dominating flesh-and-blood adversaries. AI could also resort to bioengineering a virus to exterminate humans. Even constrained to hand-to-hand combat, humanoid robots continue to advance in dexterity and martial-arts skill, threatening human fighters. A Unitree H2 humanoid, about six feet tall, performs air kicks near an engineer's head, smashes watermelons suspended above its head, and knocks spinning heavy punching bags. The H2 is priced around $30,000 and likely runs on an Nvidia Jetson AGX Thor Blackwell-based platform. Other firms have similarly showcased humanoids delivering powerful kicks to people.
