State Issues Cease and Desist to SF Fighting Robot Startup
Original: That Humanoid Fighting Robot Startup on Van Ness Just Got a Cease and Desist From the State
A San Francisco startup known for building humanoid fighting robots, based on Van Ness Avenue, has received a cease and desist order from the State of California. The order demands the company stop some activity, though details of the alleged violation have not been laid out in the available reporting. The company had drawn attention for its robot combat work, and regulators now appear to be taking a closer look at its operations.
Why now: Regulators taking action against a high-profile robotics startup is unusual and raises questions about safety and legality of its robot-fighting activities.
