China on Tuesday unveiled its first TV reality show on AI and robotics called “Fighting My Bots.”

The show, which was designed and launched by Anhui TV and a Shanghai-based sports company, aims to demonstrate high-end technology like AI and its great contribution to society. It will showcase how robots are deployed and can help with everyday life.

The show will start airing in the last quarter of 2017. The first episode will begin with China and then show advance technology in other countries, including the UK, the US, Germany, and Japan.

Specifically, “Fighting My Bots” features special guest Stephen Hawking, making it the first reality show in the world to star him. The show will also invite experts from China and around the world, starting with Kong Huawei, director of Shanghai Institute of Computing Technology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Li Lijun, chairman of Cixing Robotics.

Zhang Hongfei, CEO of FMB, said at the press conference on Tuesday that the show featuring cutting-edge technology would break new ground for reality shows.

The press conference also saw the launch of China Robotics Combat Research Institute, co-founded by the Shanghai-based company and HIT Robot Group. It would be the first institute set up to study combat robots and it is expected to bring more industrial standards.
