I do wonder... are humanoid robots deliberately built to be just human strong? And where is the line where greater strength comes into play? Punchbot, for instance, appeared to have greater than human strength.
--- End quote ---
Remember, the bulk of the programming in a robot is to maintain sentience.
Some robots are definitely built to be stronger than humans (Bubbles, Crushbot, those who fought illegally). Some have other means of defence (Momo). Even if Beepatrice and Millefeuille are stronger than Elliot, do they know how to fight? Elliot might be able to hold them off long enough to drain a significant amount of power, especially since his default reaction is essentially to defend rather than attack.

"INTRUDERS!"
"BURGLARS!"
"INTRUGLARS!"
Raptorofwar:
Is Beeps Naruto running?
St.Clair:
IMO, one of the tricky but Very Important things to do with anything running a version of the Three Laws is to somehow keep them from coming up with an entirely logical interpretation of the First - or formulating a version of the Zeroth - that involves taking away all human freedom, for our own good / to protect us from ourselves and each other.
Because really, we'd all be so much safer (in both/all senses of the word) if we spent our entire lives locked into Matrix pods or something.
DaiJB:
Well, that's bizarre - Beeps just wanders in, Millefeuille admits that this will probably keep happening - but Elliot loudly announcing his (and Clinton's) entrance is treated as home invasion?! :?
