Chilling moment humanoid robot wakes up and starts attacking its handlers while trying to break free from restraints
2025-05-06
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A humanoid robot was filmed attacking its handler while trying to break free from restraints in a scene viewers have branded 'dystopian'.

In CCTV footage from a factory in China, the robot, which is attached to a miniature crane, is seen violently swinging its arms back and forth.

As it flew into what looks like a rage, it lashed out at a man sitting nearby at a computer who had to duck, while another man standing behind the robot had to back away.

The robot - seemingly of its own accord - raised its arms in the air and brought them down again, repeating the motion with increasing speed and violence.

It then began walking forward as it thrashed around in an apparent bid to break free from the crane.

The men can be seen flinching and cowering while raising their arms to shield their faces.

As the computer monitor toppled to the floor, other items were knocked over from the desk as the men attempted to flee from the out-of-control robot.

Eventually, one of the men pulled the crane from behind in a bid to stop the ongoing destruction.

Possible sneak peek of what mixing A.I. with Robotics can bring us.

Looking like those 308 AP rounds will be in short supply soon.
