Shocking footage that has gone viral on social media shows the moment a dancing humanoid robot went ‘wild’ during a school sports day. The chaotic performance took place at a school in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. At the start of the video, the robot can be seen dancing and performing martial arts moves on a sports field, it reports “Daily Mail”.
However, everything starts to look like a bad movie when the students take to the field to perform a synchronized dance routine with the robot. After a few seconds, the robot stumbles and falls, then begins to move uncontrollably and deliver kung-fu blows to the confused participants, who begin to run away from the machine out of control.

Fortunately, no students were injured.
– Too many people confused him, he wanted to dance without causing harm – said one of the comments.
In recent years, China has rapidly expanded the use of humanoid robots at public events, in schools and demonstrations as part of an ambitious development of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence.
However, there have also been a number of incidents that indicate that robots are not yet ready for all endeavors.
