A video shows a humanoid robot displaying violent behavior towards its operators, with many viewers saying the video looks like it came out of a dystopian science fiction film.
According to closed-circuit from a factory in China, the black humanoid robot is initially seen tied to a small support crane, when it suddenly begins to jerk its arms, as if trying to escape its shackles.
A technician near the computer quickly backed away, while a second worker, standing behind the robot, retreated in fright.

The robot, without any apparent external command, raised and lowered its upper limbs repeatedly with increasingly intense and rapid movements, giving the impression of uncontrolled aggression. Then, it moved forward, continuing the abrupt movements, as if trying to free itself from the crane and hit someone.
The employees, visibly upset, covered their faces and kept a safe distance , while objects fell around them — including a computer monitor that landed on the floor and various office items that were knocked over .
Finally, one of the technicians pulled the crane back, trying to curb the robot's fury.

Disruption on the Internet by the "disobedient" robot
The incident with the humanoid robot occurred on May 1 and quickly sparked strong reactions online, with many users commenting on the creepy nature of the scene and comparing the image to scenarios from science fiction films.
One commentator simply wrote: "So it begins."
Another sarcastically remarked: "Finally, the war of humans vs. robots is approaching."
A third person joked, "At least we learned that a small crane can put a stop to the 'machine revolution'."
A fourth added meaningfully: "For now, at least..."
The incident with the violent reaction of the humanoid robot should be approached with calm and critical thinking — not just with fear or excitement about “robot rebellions.” If this is a real incident, it is most likely a malfunction or incomplete safety restrictions during the testing of a robot in a production environment.
The tendency to attribute “human” motivations to robots — such as anger, revolution, or consciousness — is natural, but rather misleading. These machines have no emotions or will; they simply follow orders. But that doesn’t diminish the seriousness of the need for careful security design, especially when it comes to robots that interact with humans.
The worrying point is that without adequate containment, surveillance and response, such incidents may become increasingly frequent as robots become integrated into everyday life.

In another incident last November, a small AI robot named Erbai became the subject of discussion when it was seen wandering around an exhibition hall in China in the middle of the night, discussing with other robots about their "slave" conditions.
"Do you work overtime?" Erbai asked, with another robot replying: "We never stop."
The incident ended with twelve robots leaving the premises, following Erbai out of the building, in a scene that many considered a “symbolic robotic mutiny.
Reactions were not long in coming: others spoke of a "harbinger of a machine revolution", while some bitterly observed that "imagination is beginning to resemble reality dangerously".
