NDTV- Shocking footage has captured the moment a humanoid robot went rogue and charged at a crowd of festival-goers.

It was only a software glitch.

A robotic failure, if you will.

Our Chinese humanoid robotwould neverdecide on his own volition to attack a complete stranger for no reason at all.

It was merely a glitch.

We simply lost control of the technology, which caused our robot to go rogue.

Just for a sec.

It was nothing we could simply fix by reprogramming the robot.

It wasn’t a decision we could talk it out of by appealing to his robot sense of reason.

I know that wasn’t much.

I know at most what that video showed was a robot attempting a headbutt.

But I still don’t like it.

And I especially don’t like that the explanation is “it was only glitch”.

Like that’s supposed to be better than a robot intentionally becoming aggressive.

Glitches can happen at anytime.

You don’t see them coming.

you could’t prepare for glitch.

I’d prefer it if the robot had done that intentionally.

I’d at least be willing to hear it out.

Maybe he had a good reason.

Was the audience member being a dick?

Was he making fun of your robot accent?

Did he call you a robot slur?

Or did he just have a punchable face in general?

I could understand that.

It’s only human.

But it being a glitch…

I mean… what if the glitch lasted 10 seconds long?

Could this humanoid Chinese robot glitch his robot hand around my throat and squeeze until my eyes popped out?

Could it glitch a cop over the head with a blunt object?

Robot attack glitches, or “robotic failures” that cause robots to turn violent are unacceptable.

They offered up that explanation like it should make people feel better about what happened.

Honestly, the people in charge of those robots should be banned from creating robots altogether.

But at bare minimum, that particular set of robots has got to go.

If a robot attack glitch is at all possible, then the robot cannot be trusted around humans.

I don’t care how much money you’ve dumped into them.

Sorry for the graphic example, but something of that nature is inevitably going to happen.

It probably already has.

Be careful around those things people.

The robots can’t be trusted.

There’s too many people in the robot business now.

Too many people who think they’re smart and responsible enough build a safe robot.

But not every person with the means to create one of these things are.

There’s probably somebody right now designing a robot that will kill multiple people some day.

Again… it’s only a matter of time.
