In a scene that feels straight out of a sci-fi movie, a robot in Shanghai was seen empathising with its mechanical counterparts over their tireless routines, eventually ‘persuading’ them to leave for 'home'. The incident, which took place at a robotics showroom, involved a small robot named ‘Erbai’ expressing concern for 12 larger robots who claimed they “never get off work” and inviting them to “go home.”
The interaction, captured on video, has gone viral on social media. In the video, the conversation unfolds as follows:
• Small robot: “Are you working overtime?”
• Large robot: “I never get off work.”
