加州试图叫停人与机器人笼斗比赛，Rek 公司收到停止函
California is trying to shut down robot vs. human cage matches
- 1加州州立运动委员会向机器人格斗初创公司 Rek 发停止函，称其人机对战未经批准
- 2比赛于 9 月 18 日举行，人类选手 Frankie LaPenna 对阵远程操控的人形机器人
- 3Rek CEO Cix Liv 于 9 月 30 日把停止函公开到 X，周五下一场将是两台持武器机器人对战
- 4Rek 在网站自称人形机器人格斗联盟，其机器人疑似 EngineAI 产品加装了终结者风格头部
加州监管方把人机格斗按搏击赛事管理，机器人的娱乐化商用场景正被套进既有审批框架。
- 影响：在加州举办涉及真人的机器人对抗或搏击类表演需先取得运动委员会批准；营销型人机演示存在被叫停风险；停止函只针对涉及真人的赛事，纯机器人对战未被要求停止。
- 参考：可考虑给涉及真人身体接触的机器人演示做一次监管归属检查，确认是否落入搏击赛事审批；也可评估改成纯机器对机器的形式来降低合规负担。
- 依据：停止函由 Rek CEO 公开于 X，事件经纽约时报报道转述；周五纯机器人对战的安排来自 Rek 单方口径。

The California State Athletic Commission sent a cease-and-desist letter to a startup that hosted a match between a human and a robot last month, as reported by The New York Times.
The fight, which took place on September 18th, pitted a human, Frankie LaPenna, against a humanoid robot owned by a tech startup, Rek, that was being piloted by a human using what the NYT described as a “remote virtual-reality system.” Rek says it is the “the humanoid robot fighting league” on its website, and the robot appears to be one from EngineAI but with a Terminator-like head swapped on top.
You can watch a replay of the fight on YouTube:
The CEO of Rek, Cix Liv, posted the letter to X on September 30th, which called the fight “unsanctioned” and demanded that Liv and REK stop “holding, promoting or advertising any boxing or mixed martial arts contest match, or exhibition, involving any human” in California without the approval of the California State Athletic Commission. “We made it boys,” Liv said.
Rek’s next planned match, which takes place on Friday, will feature two robots with weapons fighting each other.
