Given that the video purports to show the outburst of a single Unitree robot, perhaps it is a slight overreaction, but it might have easily hurt the two workers that were in the vicinity.
It’s unclear why the robot acted in this way; some speculate that it might have lost its sense of equilibrium, while others believe a software glitch was to blame.
TechSpot claims that this isn’t the first instance of a robot acting out of character.
As security had to step in during the Tianjin Winter Gala Festival in February after a Unitree H1 abruptly lunged in the direction of a spectator who had held out their hand.
I have bad news for you if you believed you would be able to flee if one of these creatures ever came for you. It appears that the bot can run at a respectable 3.3 meters per second.
For comparison, Usain Bolt ran a timing of about 10.44 meters per second in his world-record 100-meter run. You will therefore be alright if you are as quick as the Jamaican.
