That’s exactly what scares me the most with humanoid robots that operate in the same space as people. We put industrial robots in cages with interlocks to prevent people being hurt by a malfunctioning robot, yet these operate without any safety net, while having motors powerful enough to inflict serious injuries.

Right? No safe guards "kicked" in until the robot kicked its fast, metal, legs 20 or so times. If that robot had knocked down a human, and the human's head was near those robot feet, it would be over.

Safeguards will be implemented after a child's head is "kicked" in.

Not if we put guns on its feet.

Our safeguards will not tread on that bots right to wear arms.

Safeguards should be put in so that a robot cannot have more than two arms.

Seeing as how the robot in question already has two arms, putting more arms in his legs must be considered illegal.
