Robo-One: the humanoid robot competition in Japan

Robo-One is a humanoid robot competition in Japan. It was created in 2002 and has already taken place in other countries including South Korea and the US. The robot participants fight each other as warriors (like fighters of mixed martial arts). The robots are mostly prototypes developed especially for the occasion or are based on familiar models such as Bioloid (Robotis), KHR-1 2 (Kondo Kagaku), Robonova-1 (Hitec) or robots Manoi AT01 and PF01 (Kyosho).
