It is... up to a point. We're not talking about "walking across the carpet and touch a doorknob ZAP" type of event here. Under the right conditions, these robots can build up a large charge at a HUGE voltage (20kV? 30kV? higher?), and if the electronics is not properly grounded then not only are you looking at a possible reset, you could also destroy the radio and/or camera.
Edited: to clarify charge vs. voltage.
