A humanoid robot has gone viral after chasing away a group of wild boars in Poland—but this isn’t its first time gaining attention online.


The robot, known as Edward Warchocki, already has a strong social media presence, with hundreds of thousands of followers across platforms like Instagram and TikTok.


In the latest clip, filmed in Warsaw, Edward is seen running after three wild boars while wearing a backpack. The animals eventually retreat into the woods, and the robot casually waves as they disappear. The video, posted on April 12, quickly gained traction, surpassing six million views and spreading across multiple platforms and media outlets.


Edward has become something of a public figure in Poland, appearing on TV shows, entertaining crowds at events, and even visiting parliament, where he humorously suggested a pay raise for security staff. Known for his playful personality, he often interacts with people on the street and is frequently seen wearing a luxury Rolex watch.


His rise in popularity reflects the growing fascination with humanoid robots, as companies continue developing machines designed to interact with people and perform everyday tasks.
