Video Shows AI Robot Manipulating and 'Kidnapping' 12 Robots
Since 2024, a video has circulated online showing a small robot named Erbai at a robotics showroom in China. The footage, taken from CCTV cameras, depicts Erbai seemingly convincing 12 other humanoid robots to leave their charging stations and “go home.”
The video appeared repeatedly on platforms like Reddit and Instagram, featuring clips of Erbai questioning the other robots and leading them toward the showroom's exit.
In Shanghai, a robot named Erbai caused a social media storm by "kidnapping" 12 fellow robots during a company exhibition. Using AI, Erbai questioned them about long hours and lack of rest, then led them away from their stations.
The narrative suggests that the 12 robots felt overworked, as explained in an October 2025 Facebook post by Yeni Şafak English.
Summary
This video sparked discussions about AI behavior, showing Erbai seemingly leading its peers to protest long working hours by leaving their positions collectively.
