China's PLA Showcases Motion-Controlled Combat Robot

The People's Liberation Army of China has unveiled a motion-controlled combat robot that mimics the combat movements of a soldier in real time. This innovative robot was showcased to defense representatives from 13 countries during the 12th International Army Cadets Week held from November 3 to 9 at the Army Engineering University in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.

Using a lightweight motion-sensing device, the combat robot is capable of capturing every attack maneuver of the user, and it employs artificial intelligence to precisely match these moves. This technology draws parallels to the 2011 American film Real Steel, where human-directed robots engage in combat.

The PLA's demonstration represents a significant leap in military robotics, highlighting China's ongoing efforts to enhance autonomous combat systems. Previously, this development initiative has included the introduction of gun-toting robotic dogs and wolves.

The showcase of the combat robot was part of a broader exhibition that also featured machines designed for searching and dismantling explosives. This event marks a crucial moment in defense technology, reflecting China's ambition to modernize its military capabilities and influence global security dynamics.

The report was published by the official Science and Technology Daily, indicating the PLA’s commitment to advancing military robotics as a key component of its defense strategy.
