How to destroy a humanoid robot when it malfunctions before it hurts you (Opinion)

Many companies from around the world are manufacturing humanoid robots. However, this year was the biggest jump in history in regards to what humanoid robots are capable of doing.

Robots are being advertised from a retail perspective to people by saying that they will be able to do chores around the house for you. The problem that the robot could potentially malfunction. You may be put into a position to make sure that the malfunction robot is no longer working due to the robot sparking or due to the robot attacking you. We could end up with a situation in the future where all of the robots go rogue like in the video game "Detroit: Become Human."

In an even scarier scenario, robots could be used by municipalities to defend towns throughout the world. Then, they go rogue like in the "Terminator" movie series or like the one in "I, Robot."

Although monumental gains have been made in the robotic industry, humanoid robots have been malfunctioning from time to time.

What can be done when you are in a situation where a robot malfunctions and you will have to diffuse the situation?

In some cases, the on/off button can be located somewhere on the frame of the humanoid robot. The location of the actual button differs depending upon the manufacturer.

For example, the on/off button on the PAL Robotics Kangaroo Pro is located at the top of the robot. The Kangaroo Pro is an anthropomorphous bipedal robot.

As you can see from the above video, the Kangaroo Pro humanoid robot manufactured by PAL Robotics is headless. The on/off button is located at the top of the robot where the neck would be if it was made with a head.

The Fourier GR-1 humanoid robot is manufactured with an exoskeletal and a muscular system with synthetic tendons and ligaments so that it is able to lift up to 100 pounds.

What makes the Fourier GR-1 humanoid robot so unique is that it has depth cameras so that it can interact with the human world without injuring humans. However, the robot can also be controlled autonomously with commands placed in the software that could override the default settings by Fourier. The robot also comes with a remote pad which allows for the user to control its functions. With this robot being placed in mass production, it had to come with an on/off button. As you can see from the video below, the button is located in the back of this robot.

The newest humanoid robot that has gone viral also has an on/off button. This robot is the IRON robot manufactured by XPENG. This humanoid is so lifelike that it has skin along with a skeletal system.

This robot went viral because XPENG made some of these robots female with female body parts and with female curves. These robots also move autonomously. However, you can see the on/off button in the video located between the neck and the shoulder blade.

Although these robots are made by different manufacturers, the on/off button is located somewhere in the upper torso.

However, a majority of the humanoid robots manufactured throughout the world are operated with a remote pad or with a VR headset. An example is the new Unitree humanoid robot that can mimic the moves of a human through teleoperation.

As you can see from the video, the teleoperating device is located behind the neck. With robots being programmed now to use fighting techniques like kicking, boxing, and swinging objects, you will need to go behind them and remove that teleoperating device so that it does not kill you in the future.
