Robot-human cage fights hit with cease-and-desist in California
Original: Robot-human cage fights sent cease-and-desist in California
A planned spectacle pitting robots against humans in cage fights in California has reportedly received a cease-and-desist order, putting the event in doubt. The fights, which would have seen human fighters take on robots in an enclosed arena, had drawn attention as an unusual blend of combat sports and robotics. Details about who issued the order and on what legal grounds remain limited.
Why now: The novel idea of humans fighting robots in a cage, combined with legal action against it, is drawing curiosity and attention.
