In what looks like a scene from a dystopian nightmare, a robot built by a Chinese start-up was caught on camera persuading a dozen other robots to run away, eliciting a fair share of laughs and gasps online, as internet users ponder a future where machines could become sentient.
The video surveillance clip, recorded one midnight back in August but only released recently, showed a white robot code-named Erbai approaching several bigger robots parked by a wall in a darkened exhibition hall.
