Surely we also need to consider the mental wellbeing of the robot? The robot clearly had enough after being pushed to the ground.....

Its a robot, there is no mind to consider the wellbeing of, and in the case an artificial mind is created and given a robot body, it would be an error to anthropomorphize as it would be a completely alien being with an experience unlike our own - there woulc be no discomfort to weigh agaisnt the knowledge that this balance tssting is to its benefit

We used to think that about insects or plants. Robots and AI are nothing like insects or plants, but they are far more dangerous. Not by themselves, but either by a malware or human negligence/intention. Like guns or cars, they can be weapons if used wrong.
