If you're sick of being terrified by the athletic prowess of robots like that displayed from the Boston Dynamics machines, please enjoy these Chinese robots having a red hot go at football. The match pitted four teams of three bots against each other in a classic match, and the results are, well, a little sad. A bit like Boston Dynamics' other video of Atlas failing at parkour. While completely non-terrifying, it does feel like the kind of thing an advanced AI is going to look back on one day and frown at us teasing its early ancestors.
The video above comes from The Guardian, and shows off the Booster Robotics robots toddler level skills at kicking a ball. While the display of these human-shaped machines bobbling around the pitch, struggling to maintain an upright position let alone kick a ball, is entertaining, there's also science to be done here.
