Testing Robustness

Exactly !
If it was just repeating prerecorded instructions we'd be fine but the thing is / will be most probably programmed to constantly optimize.

So here’s the thing. I’m willing to bet large amounts of money that the robot is using some kind of machine learning algorithm.

Which means, that all we can do is set it a task, not tell it HOW to achieve the desired result. As a corollary to this, we also don’t understand the robots “reasoning”.

Where am I going with this?

Well, we’ve told the robot to go through the door. It’s figured out how to do this. And now, we’re fucking with it to force it to come up with new solutions. Well, the most obvious solution is to eliminate the pesky human preventing it from achieving its goal.

I’m not actually joking here.

But then maybe the grid isn't there to filter small debris but to stop big things from going down there like branches and small children ....
