If it resists, will they throw it to the ground and keep smashing it with a baton until they can get the arms into handcuffs?

Towin Mak, a representative from the educator center that owned the robot, explained to TDM that the incident happened as the robot was leaving the area. The woman stopped in the middle of the walkway to check her phone, and because the robot couldn’t get around, it simply waited behind her, he claimed. That’s when she noticed the robot with its lights on, startling her, given the late hour.
If I discovered a robot standing silently behind me on the street, I would also have a lil' freakout
If you get a chance, play Robo Recall on VR. Scared thr shit out of me.
My freakout would be "oh, this is so cool!"
Sounds like it's a glorified Marty from the grocery store. Just grumble and go around it. Also, pay attention.
Why would you go around it when it's behind you? 🤔
Wouldnt tasering him be fatal?
Probably just juice him into an unstoppable killing rage.
I guess since Robots feel no pain the police has no joy in using violence anyways 😔
They'll just keep beating them anyway, and complain about how it isn't satisfying any more, and they need more purpose in their life.
There's countries with well-trained police.
You don't get training at work to not be a sadist. That's a mental health issue.
only if it hits two components wired to an important circuit. otherwise it would just short circuit the taser, interfere with a dispensable component or do nothing, if it hits insulating parts.
I would definitely be talking about the safety of these humanoid robots operating in public spaces. Like, I'm not worried it's gonna turn evil and be like "KILL. ALL. HUMANS!" but like, the ones I've seen are pretty fucking janky and could potentially bug out and start flailing around and hurt someone unintentionally.
So who called the police? Also the supposed freaked out last stayed around to yell and rant at the robot. Id you’re really scared you’d leave.
Later, the clip shows two officers escorting the mechanical troublemaker away, in what is probably the silliest perp walk you’ll lay eyes on. One of the cops even places a hand on the robot’s shoulder, humanizing the display.
this is a mischaracterization. The cop was maintaining physical control. Either because he didn't want it walking away, or because it was tippy. or whatever. but it certainly wasn't a sympathetic pat.
Robots need a spot on their head us non-clankers can stick magnets to that causes them to breakdance until their batteries die.
The robot stood behind her, waiting for her to get out of the way. How is that terrorizing?
It doesn't matter that you don't think it is. You weren't there, she was, and she was startled.
If you're taking exception to the word "terrorizing", it could just be a translation thing.
Being startled is a long way from being terrorized. While it may be a translation thing, it's more likely this was a clickbairt title. "Woman was Startled by a Robot Waiting Patiently Behind Her" just doesn't have the same punch.
"Old Woman Overreacts" could be another title.

Me. I help out at a local village social club full of old women and, oh yes, do they love you overreact and complain about everything. Everything!!
"Did you hear about that fire that happened down the road? It made a right smell, it did. It was caused by a tumble dryer, you know. Back in my day it wouldn't have happened, we didn't use dryers. We used our hands and hung things the line, that's the proper way to dry clothes. Kids these days always trying to do things wrong.
And did you hear about Glasgow train station catching fire? A vape store caused it. It wouldn't have happened back in my day we didn't use vapes, we smoked. Kids these days always wanting to yada yada blah blah moan moan blah.."
I am terrorizing my local community by being trans and by your logic their opinion is valid.
I get startled by low hanging branches. Time to take it back a notch.
