My suggestion, instead of the elaborate avoidance system, is to make the robot act pitiful when it detects it is being abused. Whimpering, frowning, crying etc.

- rz2k 11y agoI suspect that complaints and indications of suffering exacerbate the 'othering' problems. To me it's entirely conceivable that when people were torturing for our government 10 years ago, their conscience was less engaged if their victims were already strapped to a table and looked pathetic before they waterboarded them. I think a non-dangerous bright flash of light or clap of loud noise would might act like an interrupt to their behavior before any rational or humanity-based tactics could be employed effectively.
