(Web Desk) - Footage has revealed the inside of China's haunting humanoid robot factory.
Piles of disembodied silicone heads, loose skin and leftover limbs can be seen piling up alongside lifelike droids as part of China's apocalyptic mission to replace humans with machines.
Chilling video shows an engineer next to the carbon copy robot of himself with stick on skin that flawlessly replicates his facial expressions and emotions.
Female robots can also be seen with a face full of makeup and extravagant wigs flexing their hand movements.
The company behind the wacky project, Chinese startup Ex Robot, opened up their robot museum in 2022 after six years of droid development.
Each bot costs a whopping £160,000 and can take up to a month to finally bring to life in the city of Dalian.
Over 30 bionic robots are put on display at any given time in the exhibition hall where visitors can interact and listen to stories by the bizarre inventions.
With the robots even being able to transform into celebrities from the past such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Due to the fact the droids have been made to become the perfect doppelganger, China hopes to be able to use them in the workplace.
The manufacturing facility boasts humanoids that are trained to mimic different service personnel in various industries.
They're competent in caring for the elderly, manning corporate front desks and completing commercial activities and government services, Ex Robot claims.
The company website reads: "The company is committed to building an application scenario cluster with robots as the core, and creating robot products that are oriented to the whole society and widely used in the service industry.
"We hope to better serve society, help mankind, and become a new pillar of the workforce in the future."
The humanoids are equipped with dozens of flexible actuators which enable them to move like a human and have the same grasping abilities in their hands.
In 2023, it was reported that EX Robots may have made history by creating the lightest humanoid robot ever and developing silicone skin simulation technology.
The firm combines 3D printing tech with digital design to help achieve the lifelike skin effect for the droids.
