Video of another industrial robot going berserk has emerged. In a post shared on Twitter, a user going by the name OSINTdefender has shared a video of what appears to be an industrial robot in China. The video shows a robot hitting a worker at a factory in China after what is claimed to be a coding error. "Footage claimed to show a Unitree H1 (Full-Size Universal Humanoid Robot) going berserk, nearly injuring two workers, after a coding error last week at a testing facility in China," reads the post.
It is not clear where the incident occurred. The manufacturer is Unitree Robotics . The H1 Robotic model seen in the video is reportedly priced at 650,000 yuan, and is said to be a part of broader trend in robotics aimed at creating machines that can integrate seamlessly into human environments.
Humanoid robot’s turns aggressive toward humans at Lunar Festival
In another similar incident this year, at a festival in China, viral footage captured a robot, part of a performing group, suddenly lurching toward a crowd behind a safety barricade, startling spectators and reigniting debates over robotic reliability.
The video shows the robot pausing, seemingly fixating on the audience in an "eerily human" manner, before making an abrupt, uncontrolled movement. Security personnel swiftly intervened, restraining the machine before the situation escalated. Experts are divided on whether the incident stemmed from a mechanical glitch or a more concerning AI misfire.
The manufacturer, Unitree Robotics, reportedly attributed the incident to a "program setting or sensor error."
Podcaster Joe Rogan amplified the clip online, commenting, “An AI robot got aggressive with spectators in China. The way it did it was eerily human. I don’t like this at all.” The incident has fueled public unease, with social media buzzing about the implications of advanced robotics in public spaces.
