AI Robot Manipulates and "Kidnaps" 12 Other Robots
A video has circulated online since 2024, purportedly showing surveillance footage of 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 video features clips from a CCTV camera showing 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 been shared on social media platforms such as Reddit and Instagram, with a Facebook post in October 2025 elaborating on Erbai's actions, suggesting the 12 robots felt overworked.
Author's summary: Robot Erbai leads 12 robots out.
