Because the movie ‘Real Steel’ was apparently a business proposal, Robot Entertainment Kombat (REK) has introduced S.T.E.E.L., a low-latency teleoperation system for robot fighting. This V1 demo showcases a human operator sparring through a chrome-plated bipedal robot that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain cinematic cyborg assassin. The company, founded by serial VR entrepreneur Cix Liv, plans to use the tech for live events, ensuring our future entertainment looks exactly like a sci-fi warning.
