The unusual moment quickly attracted attention online with some users jokingly comparing it to scenes from the science fiction movie The Terminator.
One user joked that people thought AI was testing their patience but perhaps humans were actually testing the robot’s patience.
However the video and the claims made with it have not been independently verified. It is unclear whether the robot’s movement was an automatic response to the push or happened for another reason.
