A disturbing video of a humanoid robot finally standing up to its abusers has gone viral, with thousands horrified that such mistreatment of our future metal overlords might not be a very good idea.
The action-packed video shows researchers brutally abusing and harassing the robot in a series of stress tests designed to prove that the machine continues to obey their commands under any circumstances. The six-foot robot is being shoved around, hit with a hockey stick and a bottle, flogged with a whip and even shot at with a handgun, all while the poor thing is trying its best to fulfill tasks.
