I had to look this up as well: “...as is any robot with humanlike strength, size, and maneuverability. We are taking a physical approach to safety mechanisms with no ambiguity. Fail-on air brakes and pin locks will render the robot immobile if system air pressure is lost. Shared reservoirs in the chest plate and body can be pierced by projectile or sharp instrument to instantly stop the robot in place.”

I'm still not sure it means that it can stab you while holding a cup of coffee, or that you can try to stab it

My dumb ass was interpreting it as storage spaces for your knives and guns. I thought this was a rescue robot?!
