Robots are programmed just to do anything you want them to, that meaning, if you want a killbot running berserk, you'd need to program them to do it, and give them the ways to do it (as giving them direct control over your "nucular" missile facilites and then let them run the show a la Terminator, or as Robocop's CEOs, run a demonstration of a weapon system using live ammo... on a closed office building... in other words, something so stupid we shouldn't be here if we dare to do.
RI man will face the Uncanny Valley and return defeated, it is designed to work with elderly, like my grandma, who refused to use the microwave oven for like 6 months after we were using it because it radiates the food... tough luck chum!

I think robots are stupid. They shouldn't be made. I think one day, something is going to go horribly wrong and some of the world is going to die. If you do continue to make them, just be very careful.

RI-MAN is also soft and cuddly. As a guy, I feel very threatened...

He LOOKS like a nice guy, but we all know robots are after our women...
