Machii gives a good performance. Even as he fatigues, he's still disciplined about his cuts, especially terminating them. The robot is over-swinging. Of course, it's programmed to, and doesn't have any agency but whatever, it's still happening here.
A nice showcasing of what they can get their robot to do.

Very impressive display of discipline! That's a lot of cuts!

Agreed, the robot overswings, there's a difference between cutting with a sword and using a sword the way it's meant to be used. Robot emulates his cut, but not his form. Also, it's not up to the level of doing double cuts where the cut piece is recut as it falls, that's a more complex cut as the target changes. Great advertisement for industrial robots though.

We need that stuff when the Kaiju finally invade.

I though we needed giant MechWarrior/Battletech style manned robots :)

Righto. As neat as their robot is, it is lacking articulation points at the very least. Adjusting the pressure of the grip, wringing the tsuka with both hands, maintaining a supple grip, not going to happen here. The sword is likely fixed hard wherever it is secured to the robot arm so a proper grip is probably right out the window. It's essentially entry level tameshigiri, where success = got through the target. Just repeated a lot and done rather quickly. But yeah, a robot with a sword is still cool.

Teaching robots to use swords? Bad idea.
But it's interesting to theorize about this. A fighting robot could be impervious to cuts and resistant to bullets. So what would you aim for? All the usual rules and methods would be right out the window. Maybe a steel net tossed on the thing and plugged into a socket.

Sever or rupture the hydrolic lines and they loose movement.

Stabbing the guy at the control panel is the obvious option. Failing that, throw a heavy blanket over the thing, push it over, smash up the optics, maneuver it over something precarious, something like that.
