The robot "Deep-Sea Shark 3," independently designed and manufactured by a Chinese club, participated in the robot fighting competition at the Games of the Future Abu Dhabi 2025 and defeated its rival from a foreign club in the final to win the championship, the CGTN reported on Sunday.

The Games of the Future is being held from December 17 to 23 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

The robot fighting competition consisted of 16 teams from countries and regions including the US, Russia, Belarus, and India, many of which had won multiple championships in international competitions before.

Thanks to its advanced design, the "Deep-Sea Shark 3" robot continuously knocked down opponents during the competition, ultimately winning the championship, according to CGTN.

Qi Wenjie, a leader of the Chinese club, revealed that the circuit system of the robot was protected by a homegrown algorithm that promptly suppresses current spikes when the robot experiences stalling to protect its motors from overloading in the harsh working condition of a robot fight.
