You might remember that a couple of years back we told you about the world’s only two giant robotic human-controlled fighting machines, MegaBot Mark III of America and Kuratas from Japan, and how they’re going to have a big, loud, brutal robot-fight. That fight is scheduled for August of this year, but it just got even more interesting, because player three has just dropped its quarter in the slot: Monkey King from China.
Monkey King is from a company called GREATMETAL, and the project is led by Shiqian Sun. We don’t know all that much about Monkey King just yet, except that it’s both quadrupedal and bipedal, as needed, and can fight with a staff. Here’s a video about the mech:

If they name one SPARTACUS or SKYNET, I'm going to freak out.

Do you want a crappy robot with a 4K video or a kick ass robot with a crappy video? They chose wisely imho.
Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.

Seeing as how the monkey king is a crappy robot, I guess I got both. Kuratas would wipe the floor with it and it was built earlier than monkey king.
