The era of the robots is here.
We’ve seen humanoid bots pull off impressive martial arts choreographies, run faster than the world’s fastest person, tear it up on the dance floor, and face off in the ring against each other.
But — at least beyond a few humans catching stray blows from robots in stunts gone awry — we’d been yet to see a robot contender square off in the ring against a homo sapien fighter.
Until now, that is. A new video making the rounds on social media shows humanoid robot fighting company REK have one of its androids spar with influencer — and major TikTok personality — Frankie LaPenna, who’s known for, among other things, stuffing his shorts to make it look like he has a huge behind. (LaPenna is such a big deal that he recently appeared on NBC‘s “America’s Got Talent,” where it was ultimately determined that he did not.)
