Utrustech CEO wang xingxing addresses declining spectacle of robot combat performances

Wang Xingxing, the founder and CEO of Utrustech, commented on a noticeable trend where the entertainment value of robot combat performances has reportedly diminished compared to the previous year. Speaking at the 9th Hongqiao International Economic Forum on Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence Industry Innovation Development Cooperation Forum, Wang Xingxing noted that the concept of autonomous robot combat was first proposed by Utrustech in 2025, making it over a year old. Wang Xingxing attributed this perceived drop in spectacle to a significant improvement in robot stability. He explained that in the past, the instability of the robots led to more intense confrontations, whereas current robots maintain their balance even when struck, resulting in fewer falls and tumbles. During the forum, Utrustech also showcased its capabilities in fully autonomous robot combat, which is powered by an end-to-end world model. This system allows the robots to process real-time visual input and derive decisions directly from the model.
