Now we've got robots that can chase and kick us — is this the robot revolution we signed up for?

Chinese robot company EngineAI created a viral video showing their T800 "combat robot" delivering a powerful kick to their CEO's padded midsection, sending him flying as proof the robot's capabilities are real rather than computer-generated. This demonstration coincides with recent developments from Figure AI and Tesla, whose humanoid robots can now run at speeds up to 6 mph with natural human-like gaits. These aggressive robotic capabilities represent a concerning shift toward combat-ready machines rather than helpful household robots.
