And by "designed to safely interact with humans," I mean "they are going to kill us all!" The people taunting the robot in the video below will no doubt die first.

If that's what "safe interaction" is, you can get the same interaction for free from your nearest wall.

Thought the Exact same thing. Why pay thousands of dollars for something a Wall does just as well?

It would be better if the "robot" verbally abused the child when he didn't throw the ball well enough. You know... To help prepare him for real life.

It's performance art. It's supposed to get you to think about, "How long is that robot just going to take that abuse?"

In all fairness to the robot, I'd seek revenge too.
