But it would make this awesome movie whe

In order to create robots that smart, you're going to have some kind of form of AI. Could the AI or a version of AI be the thing that protects the other robots from hackers?

But if the robot that's being attacked has its own AI sentry built into it that you can't get to with any kind of AI and it notices some change happening in the rest of the robot it shuts it down. So I think that might be the model. Just guessing.
