BOAR WAR

Humanoid Robot Spotted Chasing Wild Animals Through City

The odd spectacle took place in Warsaw, Poland.

A humanoid robot has been caught on camera chasing a pack of wild boars through a parking lot in Poland. Widely circulated footage shows the customized Unitree G1 robot—dubbed Edward Warchocki—jogging across a patch of grass in pursuit of the animals before raising its fist in apparent frustration as they escape. “I’m herding the wild boars into the forest,” the robot’s social media account wrote in the caption. Warsaw has been struggling to control a population of several thousand wild boars that have made the city their home, prompting culling efforts that have included shootings in residential areas. Edward’s co-creator, Radosław Grzelaczyk, who trained in robotics in China in late 2025 before purchasing the robot to test in everyday situations, was unbothered by the spectacle. “Personally, the sight of this robot chasing boars does not surprise me anymore,” he told TVP World. Edward has since become something of a local celebrity—walking Warsaw’s streets, appearing on morning television, going live on TikTok, and visiting Poland’s parliament. “Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him,” Grzelaczyk said. “These people are always delighted that they lived to see times in which robots move through the streets.”
