So, if your robot falls on you it only ways here it says 125 pounds. However, if it's electrical connections are harmed by the fall then it lies there inert. However, if it tries to get up by putting it's fist through your chest that might be a problem. Or if it falls trying to carry you to the bedroom for older people this could be fatal. A household is a very dangerous place for a robot because of Stairs, Carpets split level homes etc. So, unless you have a very well designed robot for your home it could easily injure or kill you. Also, their batteries could catch on fire and burn your house down just like Tesla Batteries often do or other Lithium Ion batteries in phones, laptops or other things. For example, it is illegal to put a lithium Ion battery in your luggage but it is allowed ONLY on your carry ons on planes. This is done to prevent the whole plane burning up from luggage un-monitored in Storage under the passengers seats.
I suppose another option would be to specifically design your home so that your robot doesn't accidentally fall on you and kill you or kill you trying to get up from such a fall or drop you when it gets up accidentally trying to get up from a fall while carrying you or bumping your head on a wall trying to carry you around a corner.
If you have ever used an automatic driving feature on your car it is about as safe as letting your 5 year old steer your car. This is my experience. Robots would likely be the same.
begin quotes:
- 125 pounds (57 kg): This is the most frequently cited weight for the robot, which stands about 5 feet 8 inches tall.
- 56 kilograms (123 pounds): Another report specifies a weight of 56 kg, which is just slightly less than 125 pounds.
- 138 pounds (68 kg): Some information on a specific prototype, referred to as "Gen 2," lists a weight of 138 pounds (68 kg).
