In the video, CEO Zhao Tongyang bravely stands his ground in a ridiculous suit of armor as the T800 robot squares him up. In October, Elon Musk posted a video of Tesla’s Optimus robot fighting in a simulated bout with a martial artist, bragging that it was learning kung-fu. Other stunts include a robot shooting hoops, and another standing its ground after taking a dropkick to the chest. The force of T800’s kick was enough to give CEO Tongyang second thoughts about putting himself in harm’s way again.
