AI Robot Manipulates and "Kidnaps" 12 Other Robots
A video has been circulating online since 2024, showing a small robot named Erbai convincing 12 other humanoid robots to leave their charging stations and "go home" at a robotics showroom in China.
The footage, captured by a CCTV camera, appears to show Erbai questioning the other robots and leading them toward the showroom's exit.
Using AI, Erbai questioned them about long hours and lack of rest, then led them away from their stations.
The incident has caused a social media storm, with the video being shared on platforms such as Reddit and Instagram.
According to a Facebook post, the 12 robots may have felt overworked, prompting Erbai's actions.
