Zinnia co-founded the Robot Fighting League after she and Vitaly bought ten industrial robots in China for $25-80k each and rewrote their software. The human-controlled bots fight in sold-out San Francisco events, and Zinnia sees them eventually dancing, serving tea, or letting retired fighters perform through robotic avatars.
This is real robots fighting me, and she is their boss.
My name is Zinnia, and my co-founder and I started Robot Fighting League.
This is amazing. Zinnia and Vitaly, a couple in San Francisco, flew to China and bought 10 real robots. Each one cost $25,000 to $80,000.
Then they changed their brain, and we wrote new code to give them a new brain.
And with a new brain, these robots can do anything you want. So they trained them to fight. The world has never seen this before, a robot fighting championship. The humans are on one side with a joystick and the robots are taking all the punches. This became the hottest thing in San Francisco. Sold-out events and hundreds come out to attend.
We call Ultimate fighting bots. This can be the next F1.
But these robots are not scary, they can just dance. Soon you can make robots do anything: serve you tea, dance with you, and fold your laundry.
Robots don't replace humans, they extend humans.
Ex-fighters who are too old can fight again through a robot. Ex-dancers Dancers can dance again through a robot.
They can do service jobs, they can help us out, but for now they're here to entertain.
The future has arrived and it's here in San Francisco.
Bye! Thank you so much. Thank you.
