Something rubs me the wrong way when the dog is hit and kicked, and we don't have a dog.
I know it's a robot but the same could be demonstrated without clear violence.
what if the robot has little vials of acetone, IPA, etc. to wash off its lenses, while switching to mm-wave vision (not even dead reackoning) returns the favor to the offending human while cleaning its lens...
Unfortunately some humans are just violent in nature. Or perhaps most. When robots become as intelligent as humans, some people might enjoy abusing them like they once enjoyed abusing people of different skin color.
Maybe it's just me..
