   California halts REK human-vs-humanoid fights; Atlas gets four-finger hands

   California's combat-sports regulator ordered San Francisco startup Robot Entertainment Kombat (REK) to stop staging or promoting boxing or MMA events involving a human without approval, after REK put content creator Frankie LaPenna in a cage against a reported 6-ft. EngineAI T800 rebranded as "Rekbot" and operated by a human in a VR headset; the founder posted the cease-and-desist as publicity, noting robot-vs-robot events are not covered. The same roundup reports Boston Dynamics gave Atlas new four-finger hands with 13 degrees of freedom per hand (up from seven) that can grip and trigger power tools, and that FieldAI signed a term sheet for a $700M round at a $10B valuation.
