Robot Handshake Rejection Goes Very Wrong
An awkward meeting with a shop-floor robot takes a sharp turn, all viewed through the detached eye of a security camera.
Exact AI video prompt
Security camera footage inside a modern electronics store. A humanoid robot stands in the middle of the shop while several customers watch. One male customer walks up to the robot and holds out his hand, expecting the robot to shake his hand. The robot completely ignores the handshake and keeps its arms still. The customer looks annoyed. He lowers his hand and gives the robot one small push on the chest with both hands. The robot immediately reacts. The robot suddenly performs several fast martial arts kicks toward the man, kicking repeatedly like a skilled karate fighter. The shocked man jumps backwards and tries to avoid the kicks while the other customers quickly move away. The robot remains standing and continues throwing rapid controlled kicks at the man. Fixed overhead CCTV camera angle. Wide shot. Entire bodies visible at all times. Realistic electronics store. Natural movement. Authentic security camera footage. No cuts. No cinematic camera movement. No slow motion. No text or captions.
Why this prompt works
A normal social gesture gives the scene an immediate story. The robot’s wildly excessive response provides the unexpected payoff.
