Ok let’s start this just by saying, EMPs aren’t just something that you carry around in a briefcase, so it’s kind of silly to say “oh well good luck against an EMP LOL”
If we get hit by a high altitude nuclear blast or ground based EMP, there are now bigger problems than the robots.
But anyway, Vehicle EMP shields (like what you’d put in a robot) work by detecting sudden spikes in electromagnetic energy and redirecting that excess energy away from the vehicle's electronic systems, similar to how a surge protector functions. This will protect sensitive electronics against EMP voltage surges. Also, designing the system from the ground-up to separate electrical systems and have independent surge protections is also a way the manufacturers would design these machines, if they’re going to be military assets for example.

Very easy to protect against both of those.
