If the robot was to wipe out all humanity, the warning signs would definitely be there.
Shocking CCTV footage from a Chinese factory is something many online explain straight from dystopian films, showing humanoid robots becoming unstable and attacking their surroundings
The robot, suspended from a small crane-like device, wakes up from sleep and begins to slap your arms vigorously, increasing your aggression and swipes through the air.
During the explosion, the machine suddenly rushes at the man sitting at a nearby workstation, forcing the duck for cover, and another individual stands behind the robot and quickly retreates.

The robot repeatedly raises its arms and slams them with an intrusive display of mechanical rage. The pace and power of movement escalates rapidly.
The robot attempts to advance despite the suppression, slashes against the crane, knocks on the equipment, scattering items from the desk.
The two visibly wary men raise their arms to try to protect themselves from chaos as the computer monitor hits the ground and the fragments begin to fly.
One of the workers ultimately grabs the crane mechanism from behind, controlling the rampaging machinery, struggling to prevent further damage.
The Chinese Communist Party is currently trying to maintain American innovation in robotics to close the technology gap, putting billions into research, industrial automation and AI integration.
“Made in China 2025“Place robotics at the heart of national development, with an emphasis on reducing dependence on foreign components and achieving self-sufficiency in key sectors.
American companies like Boston Dynamics and Tesla’s Optimus have grabbed headlines with advanced humanoid prototypes, while Chinese companies like UBTECH, Xiaomi and Siasun have rapidly expanded their production and focus on practical applications in manufacturing, logistics and elderly care.
Last month, China exhibited more than 20 bipedal robots from Beijing, competing for what was billed as the world’s first humanoid half marathon.
Their movement was undoubtedly impressive, but the robots repeatedly fell and needed human assistance to get over the finish line.
