This is the impressive moment a robot gardener smokes plants like The Terminator.

Footage shows the automatron fumigating the trees in a public park in Zhejiang, China, on April 13.

In dystopian scenes, the robot can be seen walking around while spraying the leaves with thick white fumes.

China has been increasingly integrating robots into public life, deploying humanoid robots for community services, autonomous vehicles for public security, and service robots in hospitality and retail sectors.

On March 26, the G1 robot, created by Unitree and dressed in a stylish violet flowy top, made its debut at the Xintiandi show venue during Shanghai Fashion Week.

On March 4, Yushu Wang Xingxing, Founder and CEO of Unitree, sparred with the humanoid robot to demonstrate its combat skills in Zhejiang.

Human and animal-like robots are being developed in several countries, with China and the United States leading the 'tech arms race.'

A military-style robot dog has even been spotted protecting the home of President Donald Trump in Florida.

Meanwhile, eccentric billionaire Elon Musk, who played a key role in Trump's recent US election victory, recently unveiled Optimus, describing it as a multi-functional assistant capable of handling household chores, playing with children, and performing repetitive tasks.
