Moment Humanoid Robot Malfunctions and Attack Inventors in Chinese Factory

A startling video has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), capturing the moment a humanoid robot appeared to malfunction and lash out at its inventors in a factory believed to be in China.

The footage, taken at an undisclosed location, shows the robot suspended from a construction crane while two men stand nearby, observing and chatting. Suddenly, the robot begins flailing its arms and legs aggressively, causing the men to flee in panic.

Moments later, one of the men cautiously returns to the scene and appears to try to stabilize the robot by pulling it upright.
