Mass deliveries of the humanoid robot Walker S2 have reportedly begun. A viral video shows hundreds of the robots marching in unison, a sight that has frightened many people on social media.
The development of humanoid robots is currently progressing at an incredible pace. In our last article, for instance, we reported on a trial of the latest 1X Neo domestic robot, which is now available to pre-order. This time, however, we'll focus on a viral video that is currently doing the rounds on social media:
The Walker S2 industrial robot was unveiled three months ago, and now a viral video showing scenes that resemble an army of robots is circulating on social media. The video actually depicts hundreds of Walker S2 humanoid robots from Ubtech Robotics marching in step shortly before their mass delivery. The precision with which the robots are lined up in a large warehouse, and their synchronised march, are undeniably impressive.
The footage inevitably evokes associations with creepy science fiction films. Many people find the footage disturbing and frightening, recalling apocalyptic films. While some are enthusiastic about the new technology and see it as a boon to humanity, others fear significant job losses.
