There should be a self-defense protocol where the Robot turns around and bites the guy on the ass.
This is a future nightmare, imagine seeing a cute dog arriving at you in the park and you decide to gently pet him but suddenly a freaking snake-ish head comes out to stole you something or to make a satisfaction survey about the park facilities or EVEN worse, undesirable publicity

That is great progress but.....did we all miss the message of Terminator 2?
