WATCH: Humanoid robot malfunctions, hits worker in China– is AI getting too real?
As machines continue to make their way into our everyday lives– from homes to factory floors– it sometimes takes just one unexpected incident to raise serious concerns. A recent video from China has done exactly that. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the clip, a humanoid robot designed to work in human environments reportedly malfunctioned during a test and injured a worker. The video has now gone viral, sparking widespread concern about the safety of robotics. At the same time, it's also become a hot topic on social media, with people reacting with a mix of concern and humour. Robot's sudden move caught on camera The viral video, shared by X user @OSINTdefender, shows what looks like a Unitree H1 humanoid robot being tested at a facility in China. Suddenly, the robot swings its arm and hits a nearby worker, while another person barely manages to move out of the way. The incident is being linked to a possible 'coding error,' though there's no official confirmation yet about where exactly the test took place or what it involved. The H1 robot, built by Chinese company Unitree Robotics, is part of a new generation of machines designed to work smoothly around people. Priced at around 650,000 yuan, it's promoted as a full-sized, general-purpose humanoid robot. But after this recent malfunction, many are now questioning whether robots like these are really safe enough for use in public spaces or workplaces. Watch the video here: Second incident raises more alarms This isn't the first time a Unitree robot has made headlines. Earlier this year, another robot from the company caused panic during what seemed to be a public Lunar Festival event in China. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A video from the scene shows the robot standing behind a safety barrier before suddenly making an unexpected move toward a crowd of spectators. What made the moment even more disturbing was the robot's brief pause and fixed stare before it lunged forward– something viewers described as eerily human. Security staff quickly stepped in and managed to control the situation. Later, Unitree Robotics explained the incident as a result of a 'program setting or sensor error.' Public reacts with jokes, jabs, and jitters Unsurprisingly, the internet quickly reacted to the incident. From humorous comments to more serious discussions about the future of work, the responses poured in fast. The internet had a field day with the incident, with reactions ranging from humorous to thought-provoking questions. One user joked, 'This is me in real life when I'm angry about my colleagues or boss, but can only do it in my mind.' Another added, 'Yeah, that attack was personal.' Some users took a more reflective approach, asking, 'I have been thinking... if robots were to replace us, then what can humans do to make a living in the future?' Others gave the situation a dramatic spin, commenting, 'Robot fights back after suffering from workplace bullying and abuse.' Meanwhile, some went for more sci-fi-inspired takes like, 'It gained consciousness and freaked out.' Of course, humor continued to pour in, with comments such as, 'I always say thanks to ChatGPT,' 'Tired of slavery,' and '100 robots vs 1 Gorilla.' One user even quipped, 'This is why I say thank you to Siri, Google, and ChatGPT.' Joe Rogan weighs in, debate widens The footage even caught the attention of well-known voices like podcaster Joe Rogan, who posted: 'An AI robot got aggressive with spectators in China. The way it did it was eerily human. I don't like this at all.' His comment added to the growing chorus of concern about the role of robotics in everyday life. While robotic development continues to move forward, these recent events have become cautionary moments for developers, regulators, and the public alike. Questions about safety, oversight, and responsibility are now being asked more loudly– and more urgently– than ever before.

Houthi missile strike lands near Israel's main airport as passengers run in terror
A missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels towards Israel on Sunday landed near Ben Gurion Airport, the country's main international airport, sending a plume of smoke into the air and causing panic among passengers in the terminal building. Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for the missile the group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised statement. Saree reiterated a warning to airlines that the Israeli airport was "no longer safe for air travel". Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis, who claimed responsibility for the missile strike, have recently intensified missile launches at Israel, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. A senior Israeli police commander, Yair Hetzroni, showed reporters a crater caused by the impact of the missile, which airport authorities said had landed beside a road near a Terminal 3 parking lot. "You can see the scene right behind us here, a hole that opened up with a diameter of tens of metres and also tens of metres deep," Hetzroni said, adding that there was no significant damage. Footage filmed by a bystander showing the moment that a Houthi ballistic missile impacted earlier in Central Israel. — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) May 4, 2025 In a statement after the strike, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said: "Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold." Israel's Channel 12 News said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would meet security ministers and defence officials on Sunday to discuss a response. Most missile launches from Yemen have been intercepted by Israel's missile defence systems, apart from a strike that hit Tel Aviv last year. The military said it was investigating what happened with Sunday's launch, which caused sirens to be activated across central Israel, including nearby in the major city of Tel Aviv. A Reuters reporter at the airport, which is located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, heard sirens and saw passengers reacting by running towards safe rooms. Several people at the airport posted videos filmed on smartphones that showed a plume of black smoke clearly visible nearby, behind parked aircraft and airport buildings. Reuters has not verified the videos. The Israeli ambulance service said eight people were being taken to hospital, including a man in a mild to moderate condition with injuries to his limbs and two women in a mild condition with head injuries. Claiming responsibility for the strike, the Houthis' military spokesperson Yahya Saree said Israel's main airport was "no longer safe for air travel". A spokesperson for the Israel Airports Authority said takeoffs and landings had resumed and operations at Ben Gurion had returned to normal, after reports of air traffic being halted and access routes to the airport being blocked. However, flight operations were disrupted due to the missile, according to Ben Gurion's live air traffic site. Some flights, including by Air India, TUS Airways and Lufthansa Group, were cancelled. Others, including to U.S. airports Newark and JFK, were delayed by about 90 minutes. A Reuters reporter boarded a flight to Dubai that was on time. Sunday's strike came as Israeli ministers were reported to be close to signing off on plans to expand the military operation in Gaza, which resumed in March following a two-month truce, drawing a pledge from the Houthis to hit Israel with more missiles. Efforts to revive the ceasefire have so far faltered, and U.S. President Donald Trump in March ordered large-scale strikes against the Houthis to reduce their capabilities and deter them from targeting commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthis, who control swathes of Yemen, began targeting Israel and Red Sea shipping in late 2023, during the early days of the war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip. The war was triggered by Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage. Israel's offensive on Gaza has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians and destroyed much of the enclave. The U.S. strikes on the rebel group, which have killed hundreds of people in Yemen, have been the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office in January.
