Robot-human cage fights hit with cease-and-desist in California

Original: Robot-human cage fights sent cease-and-desist in California

The stunt had been drawing attention for blending combat sports with robotics demonstrations, but regulators have apparently moved to stop the spectacle before it took place.

Why now: The unusual combination of combat sports and robotics, and regulators' intervention, has made the story a talking point.
