I wonder what kind of guardrails (like Three Laws of Robotics) there are to prevent the robots going crazy while executing the prompts

The laws of robotics were literally designed to cause conflict and facilitate strife in a fictional setting--I certainly hope no real goddamn system is built like that,.

"With the full Gemini Robotics, you are connecting to a model that is reasoning about what is safe to do, period," says Parada. "And then you have it talk to a VLA that actually produces options, and then that VLA calls a low-level controller, which typically has safety critical components, like how much force you can move or how fast you can move this arm."

what if they are battery powered?
