This looks like it was scripted completely in advance by someone who knew nothing about basic fight choreography. What's the point?
Somewhere, George Lucas is watching this and thinking, "The hell? This sucks. But... if the robots were made entirely in CG... that would be awesome." Thanks to Dan R. for the tip.

I hate to say it but, some of us (including me) would probably still lose to this.
One the one hand: It's robot fighting withing F-ing lightsabers! XD
One the other hand: Oh frag, robot can fight with F-ing Lightsabers! RUUUN!
I don't understand what they're trying to demonstrate as being particularly unique. Robotic arms can make pre-programmed motions with a very high degree of accuracy? Well... yeah. That's why they've been used to build computer components and cars for decades.
I would say it about as emotionally charged as any of the lightsaber duals in from the prequels.
Oh sure, it's a cute novelty now - but don't you see? DON'T YOU SEE? We are teaching Skynet how to fight!
Zzzzzzz. Not even Duel of The Fates could save this video from its sleep-inducing powers.
Meanwhile in the Legion of Doo----I mean the Skywalker Ranch
George Lucas is watching this and thinking "What! How can people possibly think these robots are cool? They don't even say Roger, Roger!"
What the hell is so amazing in that other booth, that means nobody is watching two ROBOTS FIGHTING WITH FUCKING LIGHTSABERS????????
Welp, time to stock up on those guns and explosives and ammo. Somebody found young John Connor yet? Get to it people! Those Terminator units would be rolling out of the factories any second now!
