People have been left feeling slightly alarmed after seeing how quickly a humanoid robot can move. 

A clip of the humanoid robot was shared online, showing the bot initially lying on the ground before quickly jumping onto its feet. 

While the technology is certainly impressive, it left a few people feeling a bit uncomfortable, with some saying it moves ‘too fast’ and others saying humans were ‘idiots’ to create such a robot. 

“We’re gonna have to fight these things one day,” one Reddit wrote.
