If you're making a robot to interact with humans, part of that is making it safe.

You can always design something to be better but part of interacting with a machine is not assuming that it will do the safe thing 100% of the time and acting appropriately.

If you're driving a car and it hydroplanes, is it the car's fault for losing traction? No, you should have been aware that it was a risk you were exposed to the moment you stepped into the car.

Can you design a car that is less likely to hydroplane? Sure, but there's always going to be an edge case it can't handle perfectly.
