Game on! UFB and Nebius power the future of robotics
The machines are ready. The cloud is live. The show begins this week.
We are thrilled to announce that Nebius is the official technology partner for Season 1 of Ultimate Fighting Bots (UFB)’s Humanoid Sports League — the world’s first multi-format competition platform for physical AI. The two companies will pioneer the use of robots by coupling UFB’s growing platform for humanoids with Nebius’s cloud solution for physical AI.
As part of the upcoming competitions, teams will train, pilot and choreograph humanoid robots across multiple disciplines, including robot fights and dance.
Robots on stage. Nebius under the hood
Robotics demands more than off-the-shelf compute. Robot learning needs fast iterations, reliable cloud services and the kind of acceleration that can keep pace with real-time decision-making. Nebius delivers the critical cloud foundation for robot policies, simulation workloads, benchmark scoring and live-event inference that humanoids need to operate on stage.
Along with the launch of the Humanoid Sports League, Nebius cloud for robotics and physical AI is powering the first creative tool for human motion, UFB Studio. Available at studio.ultimatebots.com, UFB Studio allows anyone to upload reference video, generate motion and refine output in a timeline editor built specifically for humanoid bodies. Submissions, including performances, immersive experiences and showcases will be featured live on stage by robots at the league’s events. Submissions will also remain available for community use.
Mark your calendar. Season 1 is coming
As the cloud for robotics and physical AI, Nebius will be behind every movement, every reaction, every moment of machine intelligence during UFB’s action-packed season. Founders, developers, investors and all physical AI enthusiasts are in for something extraordinary. Expect robots performing on stage in ways that defy expectations.
