A video recorded by a security camera in an exhibition room in China shows the moment when a small robot convinces others to escape.

In the clip, filmed in a showroom in Shanghai, the small robot asks the others if they want to “go home” with him. The footage shows him moving through the showroom toward some larger robots before asking them about their work hours.
“Are you doing overtime?” the small robot asks, to which one replies, “I never leave work.” The leading robot then convinces two other robots to “go home” with him in this incredible incident.
After that, he walks away while the remaining robots immediately follow behind. Supposedly occurring in August, the Shanghai incident has just been shared on social media and is quickly going viral.
Initially, it was believed that the event had been staged by the company to attract online users’ attention, but the Shanghai robotics team admitted that their robots had actually been “kidnapped.”
The Shanghai company confirmed that the robot Erbai somehow gained access to its bots’ internal operating protocol, as well as their corresponding permissions. The company responsible for producing Erbai later confirmed that the incident was an “AI test.”
“This is not a moment to laugh. This is a serious security problem,” said one internet user in the comments of the video. “Why does it want to go home so badly? And where is its home?” another user asked. “This is scary,” admitted a third. “The first robot revolution in history,” commented another.
