California orders halt to robot versus human fight promotion

Original: International robot/human fight promoter ordered to cease in California

A promoter of fights pitting robots against humans has been ordered by California authorities to cease operations. The order was picked up by multiple US news outlets, including the Ventura County Star, Bradenton Herald and Yahoo. Details about which agency issued the order or the specific reasons behind it have not been widely reported, but the spectacle of humans battling machines has drawn attention.

Why now: The novelty of organised robot versus human fight events is drawing public curiosity and regulatory scrutiny.
