ransomnote: The video at the link is better quality than the gif I posted below.

Shocking CCTV footage from a factory in China shows a humanoid robot turning erratic and attacking its surroundings in what many online have described as a scene straight out of a dystopian film

The robot, suspended from a small crane-like apparatus, appears to wake up from its slumber and starting violently thrash its arms, swiping the air with increasing aggression. 

During the outburst, the machine suddenly lunges at a man seated at a nearby workstation, forcing him to duck for cover, while another individual standing behind the robot quickly retreats.

The robot repeatedly raises its arms and slams them down in a disturbing display of mechanical fury, the pace and force of the movements escalating rapidly.

Attempting to advance despite its restraints, the robot thrashes against the crane, knocking over equipment and scattering items from a desk.

Asimov addressed this issue in 1942 and built several stories/books around the issue. The Three Laws of Robotics.

Yabut he didn't include the Fourth Law of Robotics:

  1. "Since the Three Laws of Robotics are software-based, feel free to overwrite them any time you please."

Y'see.

Attributing human-like emotions (”attacking it’s handlers”) to an obvious programming malfunction was done just as clickbait.

The robot is not intentionally doing anything.

Yup, someone is hyperventilating and intentionally trying to create panic porn.

Apparently Chinese robots are trained in Kung Fu.

Turns out they DO have those trucks - but they spew out water vapor.

When I was a kid we were living in military dependent housing near a research facility. The one that bounced the first radar signal off of the Moon. In the spring and summer, for mosquito control, trucks would travel slowly down the street emitting emitting white clouds of vapor; we kids would run along behind them. Later learned it was DDT.

We (well, some of us) ain't dead...yet.

Hence the reason that, along with Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, no mobile, humanoid robot should have strength greater than a typical 12 year old girl.

Call it “Ziggy’s Postulate” to the 3 Laws ...

ur welcome
