EngineAI’s T800’s kung-fu skills are terrifying if they’re real

I wonder why Chinese company EngineAI would name their humanoid machine the T800 and then train it to fight.

Here's the company's CEO Zhao Tongyang getting kicked by it:

If you don't know, the T-800 is the model of cybernetic hunter-killer Skynet sends back to kill Sarah Conner in The Terminator.

Why would a CEO agree to get kicked by what's being heralded as the world's strongest humanoid fighting robot?

To counter claims that EngineAI is using CGI to create their robots.

Here's some behind-the-scenes footage they filmed to try to further disprove the CGI claims, which honestly looks a little CGI too.

But...but what about Asimov’s First Law of Robotics?

IIRC, the story was timed for 1984, after the time boxing was banned between humans.
Apparently Rod Serling was a “pro-class” boxer while a paratrooper during WW2. He also wrote another TZ tv episode about boxing titled “One Tall Wish”...starring a young Ivan Dixon (of later Hogans Heroes fame and Ivan was involved in making movies also). He was one of the rare black actor TV show protagonists for the time.
Serling also wrote “Requiem for a Heavyweight”

I wonder how it does against double ought buck in the 12 ga range?

Thermite. I'm a big fan. It will be very handy in the upcoming robot wars.

Or rifle sized EMF generators. Or silly string covering the robot sensors. Or light so bright it burns out the sensors.
Must be at least 50 ways to beat the robots.

The days when actors actually had real life experiences, instead of the “thespian coccoon” raised performers of today.

If you want to have robots show fight without real fighting abilities, Kung fu would be the right martial art to teach them.

That’s called the “quart of blood” technique. You do that, a quart of blood will drop out of a man’s body.

But can it walk like an Egyptian....?
