...wtf....

First of all, it's not like robots need eyes. Just rip them out.

Secondly, you can put it into a steel container so that it can't get out after it's charging. Why would you want it to roam around while you're sleeping anyway? Set a timer at 6 am so that it has breakfast ready for you by the time you wake up. Otherwise, it'll be confined.

Thirdly, all robots have off switches. Before they kill all life on the planet to clean it, just switch them off. Easy peasy.

Or hack the mainframe so that they see you as a essential part of the crisp clean new world for which they go on a crusade against all other life. That works too.
