A humanoid robot was seen attacking its handler while attempting to break free from restraints, in a scene viewers have branded “dystopian.”
In CCTV footage from a factory in China, the black robot is seen attached to a miniature crane before suddenly beginning to swing its arms back and forth.
As it lashed out violently, a man sitting behind a nearby computer ducked, while another man standing behind the robot quickly backed away.
The robot—seemingly acting on its own—raised its arms into the air and brought them down repeatedly, with increasing speed and force.
It then began walking forward, thrashing wildly in an apparent attempt to break free from the crane.
The two men flinched and cowered, raising their arms to shield their faces as they moved out of its path.
