The World Robot Conference held over the weekend in Beijing, China, revealed the insane capabilities of robots, and I gotta say, things aren’t looking good for humanity.

Horrifying images shared by The Associated Press show robots pulling off human-like expressions, such as nodding, winking and even grimacing. Donned with synthetic skin, moving arms and hands and eerily-human facial movements, these machines (made by Chinese company EX Robots) are the stuff of nightmares.

The purpose of many of these robots is to interact with the public at places such as museums, schools and tourist attractions, AP noted. Of course, we’re all worried the first time we see one of these robots in real life will be as it walks towards us, guns blazing, lasers coming out of its eyes as it hunts us down in the next world war.

But, for now, these robots are apparently just going to become our slaves (let’s see how long that lasts). Some other robots on display at the conference harvested apples from tree. Another prepared tea, and another served ice cream. One lucky visitor even got a back massage from one of the bots.

The scariest part? There is no way the robots on display in China are the most advanced in existence. The real top-of-the-line robots probably won’t be shown to the general public until … maybe it’s too late.
