I'm pretty much 99% sure that Mina could tell that Erisu was a robot as soon as Erisu first came through the door on the first page of chapter 27 (or possibly even earlier if Mina is able to detect nearby robot ID signals although Erisu might be able to turn that off). Erisu can look and more or less act like a teenage girl well enough to fool most humans but, even without robot ID signals, there are probably obvious signs that Mina can see or hear (i.e. body heat distribution or hydraulic system noises) that an ordinary human couldn't.

What I'm beginning to suspect now is that Takuma also somehow knew all along that Erisu is a robot considering that, while he is obviously shocked that Erisu would attack Mina and that Mina didn't tell him about the attack, he doesn't seem at all surprised to learn that Erisu is also a robot. Then again, I suppose we don't actually see the part where Erisu's mother told Takeru what happened so Erisu being a robot could still have been a little bit of a surprise to Takeru however someone who spends most of his free time around robots might be able to spot traits of robot behaviour in human-appearing robots that most people would miss, the same way that Michika Ono (glasses girl) also was able to figure out the truth about Erisu even before Mina ripped off Erisu's arm right in front of her.

I felt the solution/end is just not that satisfying. Really a slap of the wrist but I don't think any of the characters that treat robots like family would want any robots to be have a personality update or reformatted; that like killing them. And author can't have the police involved because Erisu would be taken away. Good chapter but lackluster punishment for attempted murder.

Legally, it wouldn't be attempted murder because it was only a machine-on-machine attack.

While Erisu probably would have to be reformatted if the police got involved, even in the world of this manga, I don't think a robot acting according to a programming error can be charged with a crime considering that robots aren't considered to have personhood and, if anyone were to be charged, it would either be her parents for not updating her firmware or possibly even the robot company itself.
