How to Kill a Google Robot

Horror movie enthusiasts delight in the idea of a zombie apocalypse. So much so that some people have promulgated “how to kill a zombie” guides on the internet. Although there is plenty of information on the web about how to kill zombies, there is little information about how to a kill a more imminent threat: Google robots.
Human-like androids have broken free from the shackles of science fiction. Google debuted its humanoid robot Atlas, in a recent video. Atlas stands six feet, two inches tall and clocks in at a whopping 330 pounds. The makers of the robot set Atlas free into woods to see how well it could navigate through the murky terrain.(1)
In the video, Atlas struggles to walk upright, but can effectively respond to the surrounding environment. Makers of the robot claim their primary focus in constructing Atlas was to improve balance and dynamics.
The coming age of androids
Although Atlas walks like an awkward slumped-over giant, the android is a force made of steel that would stop anyone dead in their tracks. Makers of the robot state that Atlas is not yet quite on par with humans, but they remain optimistic.
“All kinds of stuff happens, and we’re making pretty good progress in making it’s movement sort of within shooting range of yours, and if we keep pushing we’ll get there,” noted Marc Raibert, the founder of Boston Dynamic.(1)
All this in the round, one cannot help wonder when robots will not just be equivalent to their Google caretakers, but supersede them, perhaps even detaining them to a “people zoo.” Some people believe that robots are already becoming our overlords. For instance, the multinational company Hitachi is now using an A.I. system at several warehouses to issue commands to factory workers — not the other way around.(2)

Decapitation
In the event that robots do take over the world, preparations for a zombie apocalypse would prove futile. Unlike zombies, decapitating a metal android standing over six feet tall may not be the most effective way to kill it. Although a robot moves through the workings of its artificial brain, slicing through a steel neck would require multiple whacks.
