The idiom “50 Ways” in my title should not be taken as a literal metric. “Fifty” is simply a metaphor for a number larger than a few. In his hit song, “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover” (1975), Paul Simon provides six ways to leave. In this chapter, I will review a number of ways to “kill” a robot together with some of the ways that robots “die.” Death here is broadly defined as the permanent ending of vital processes. I will also review how “deceased” robots are handled. My cultural area focus is primarily Japan and the United States. Both humans and robots are, in several respects, electrical entities albeit very different kinds of electricity and their attendant embodiment. By considering these voltaic differences in the context of “technologies of death,” I suggest that attributing affect and humanity to robots is misleading and even disingenuous.
