(As written in the N in-game help)
Like happy little puppies, these robots will eagerly scamper along the ground towards you. Unlike most puppies, they'll kill you if they get close enough.
Movement
Floorguards are generally stationary, harmless and cute. Until you land on the floor they guard. Then they charge towards you with amazing speed...and kill you upon contact with an electrical discharge similar to that of the zap drone. Once you enter their line of sight (which is horizontal to their left and right), they will move in your direction very quickly until they reach the end (either the end of the platform or the edge of a map). If you are still there, they move in the opposite direction...and so on. Fortunately, they are only able to move on horizantal surfaces, and not slopes and curves.
Tactics
Keep in mind that they are very fast, with speed comparable to the ninja at a full sprint. You can't outrun them for long distances, so you need to jump before they touch you. When you can't jump (in unit-width areas for example), life becomes sad, like 45-3: Manimal Lust. http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3109/jigyt7.png

Also keep in mind that floorguards can go through all types of doors. Here, unfortunately, doors cannot help you survive.
