In Shanghai, a robot named Erbai persuaded 12 other robots to come home with him, in a step-by-step experiment that demonstrated AI’s ability to mimic human-like empathy.

Asking each other for a break at work may be a common part of everyday routine, but if you think it’s just a ‘human’ gesture, you’d be wrong. Now, robots also invite each other home and empathize with their ‘co-workers’ when they see them working overtime. And why not? Artificial intelligence is taking over after all.
It happened in a robotics showroom in Shanghai, China, where a tiny robot sympathized with 12 other robots after realizing they had no home and never got off work. He then asked the others to come with him, home!
Don’t believe us? A video, which is now being widely shared on social media, shows some large robots talking and then following smaller robots one by one.
But we don’t know where they went, and if the little robot really had a home!
As the conversation between the robots in the video went something like this-
“Are you working overtime?”
“I never leave work.”
“So you’re not going home?”
“I don’t have a house.”
“Then come home with me.”

According to a report by Gulf News, these robots have been developed by two different companies.
He identified the tiny robot as ‘Arbai’, which was saying ‘go home’.
The report cited other media reports as saying that the companies behind the two robots also acknowledged the video and said it was not fake.
The companies also said that all conversations and actions between the robots were part of an experiment but not fake.
He said that Unitree Robotics, the Hangzhou robot maker behind the abducting robot, had contacted the Shanghai robot maker and asked if they were willing to allow their robot to do the abduction, and they did the experiment. agreed with
Meanwhile, the video sparked debate on social media, with some calling it “scary” and pointing to serious security risks in modern robotics systems, the report claimed.
