The EngineAI Robot Free Combat Tournament: "Mecha King" marks a significant milestone in the robotics industry. It aims to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technology, driving industrial upgrades and large-scale applications, industry insiders noted.

According to the organizers, the event is designed to test robots' physical limits and intelligence levels through highly competitive and visually engaging combat scenarios. The competition will also introduce pioneering rules for humanoid robot combat, requiring robots to simulate human movement patterns and make real-time intelligent decisions in complex environments.

EngineAI, a robotics company based in Shenzhen, will supply several models of humanoid robots for the competition. The company plans to open-source the robot codes, allowing participating teams to customize and train the machines.
