How about on NPC’s?

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

In December, two dozen Amazon factory workers were hospitalized after being sprayed with bear repellant in an incident involving a robot.

Just protecting itself from those who would do it harm. ;)

Guys reflective belts will protect you from any kind of robot.  Anything at all for that matter.

DOD has been testing them for years.  They pretty much make you invulnerable to all harm.

I'm fairly certain it's reflective headgear.  [tinfoil]

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'm getting a 404 error on the news article, and searching "amazon safety belt" has zero returns.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/21/18191338/amazon-robot-warehouse-tech-vest-utility-belt-safety

original source?

Maybe Fox got spooked that it might be "fake news" and pulled it?

Fox changed the name of the link, but it's the same story. I updated the OP.

So the belt tells the computer network where the worker is so the robots don't run them over.  I guess it doubles as an employee tracking tool.

Shhhhh, no body is supposed to know that, it is for enhanced worker safety.

Cylons?  Terminators?  Feh!  Child's play.

Let's worry about the real threat:

Daleks are organic beings inside an armored shell.

Wonder if anyone ever tried giving a Dalek a snickers bar?
