> The physical safety of robots and the people around them is a longstanding, foundational concern in the science of robotics. That's why roboticists have classic safety measures such as avoiding collisions, limiting the magnitude of contact forces, and ensuring the dynamic stability of mobile robots.
Uhhh, I mean that's nice, but how about: "That's why we will never sell our products to military, police, or other openly violent groups, and will ensure that our robots will always respond instantly to commands like, 'stop, you're hurting me', which they understand in every documented human language on earth, and with which they will comply regardless of who gave the previous command that caused violent behavior."
Who is building the robot cohort that is immune - down to the firmware level - to state coercion and military industry influence?
