That's a solved problem for small devices. And we effectively have "robots" like that all over the place. Sliding doors in shops/trains/elevators have been around for ages and they include sensors for resistance. Unless there's 1. extreme cost cutting, or 2. bug in the hardware, devices like that wouldn't kill children these days.

Here's a video from 14 years ago where a table saw stops fast enough that it didn't scratch a hotdog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq3o0VGUh50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq3o0VGUh50 So even if this hypothetical robot had saws for hands it could be mostly safe (in theory).
