    Are they autonomous or do they have pilots? I feel like a human touch would make the fights a lot cooler. Like in that one Love, Death and Robots episode.

      It’s fully autonomous, and it’s just an ad for China’s upcoming robot industry. There are a lot of events like that from dancing, to fighting to just doing chores. So it’s not really a market on its own to justify more investments and refinement - it’s just a meme.

      I do wonder though whether something more permanent could be here but we already have Robot Wars which is better in every possible way - human controlled and not limited to human-like robots.
