Chinese robotics firm shares 'terrifying' video of its four-legged robots moving in unison

A robot takeover is the plot of many science fiction films, but a video shared on Twitter has some believing the idea may not be too farfetched. A user shared a clip from Chinese-based Unitree robotics firm that shows a squadron of four-legged machines moving in unison. The AI-powered, canine-like robot, named, Aliengo, is designed with depth perception, high explosive sport performance and an advanced protection level – among other features. The short video shows dozens of robots crouched down on the floor, but then spring up to a squatting position, lean forward and then return to their original position - all at the same time. However, the video has sparked some funny, and terrifying responses, on Twitter with some likening to a scene from'The Terminator' and'Black Mirror.'
