Rise of the killer robots? Watch the terrifying moment a humanoid bot survives being kicked and punched - before smashing its own hand with a hammer

Based on how robots get treated in demonstration videos, you could hardly blame them for wanting to overthrow humanity. In this terrifying video, a humanoid robot is seen taking a beating from a human operator, before smashing its own fingers with a mallet. To make things even weirder, the robot also shows off its bizarrely flexible joints by contorting itself like something out of The Exorcist. While they might be impressive, these creepy movements have led some commenters on social media to call the robot'absolutely terrifying.' But at only 4ft 1" (127cm) - roughly the height of the average eight-year-old - the Unitree G1 might struggle to reach the top shelf, let alone destroy humanity. At the start of the video, the child-sized humanoid appears crumpled on the floor, before rising up on its flexible joints.
