Robot sparring partner
Boston Dynamics had unveiled a new Atlas robot for commercial use. It is entirely powered by electricity. I can imagine if they can bring the price down, the robot can be a perfect sparring partner for practice. He can try out deadly karate strikes without fear of injuries. The robot can measure his kata and accurately critique them. Any thoughts?

I will love that massively because sparring in Virtual Reality i can't do leg related work.
Re: Robot sparring partner
Using virtual reality may be the best option for the near future since we already have primitive hardware which can work by tracking both hands and feet. It can buzz certain parts of the body if you make a hit. Some options: are Skywin VR Tracker Belt, Tracker Hand and Feet Strap Bundle for HTC Vive System Tracker Pucks; Sony mocopi 3D Mobile Motion Capture for VR and 3D Content Creation; Rebuff Reality Trackstrap Plus for Vive Ultimate Tracker, Vive Tracker, Tundra Tracker, 20+ Hrs Playtime, Full Body Tracking in VR Chat & Dance Dash. Apple is reportedly still working on full body tracking for Vision Pro so the platform can eventually support fitness apps. Unfortunately, there's no VR standards, making it very hard to code software.
