An eye-catching video showing Chinese combat biomorphic robots has emerged in the Internet.

Chinese military biomorphic robots resembling animals were spotted in a video which found its way to the Internet, Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported.

According to the makers of the video, the footage was taken during the "Overcoming Obstacles 2016" competition which took place in China's Heilongjiang Province. Taking part in the contest were 73 teams from special research institutes and industrial enterprises, including the Engineering Academy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Armored Forces, National Defense University, the China North Industries Corporation NORINTO and Beijing University of Technology.

Last month, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for improving the strategic planning and combat service support in the country's armed forces, the People's Liberation Army.

First Chinese combat robot challenges its Japanese and American counterparts

By Du Xiaofei - People's Daily Online - April 26, 2017

Jizhan, a Shanghai-based robotics company, has claimed success in its mission to create a giant combat robot. The company is now inviting foreign counterparts to challenge this robot fighter.

”We are now sending an official invitation to all Japanese and American combat robots,” the company wrote." Our robot can fight two attackers at the same time in the Fight My Bots Competition (FMB).”

The Dawei prototype made its global debut on the banks of Huangpu River last year on Sept. 15, after more than half a year of research and development. Dawei’s pattern of red flames and Taotie (one of four evil fiends in Chinese mythology) is set off by a solemn black background. The mix of red and black embodies the vigor of China and the mysterious nature of the Orient. The robot's powerful structure gives a high-tech feel that can typically be found only in science fiction.
