        Or a big ass anti static bag and a few doods with masks. As far as easy to steal $100K+ items go these seem kinda like a great target.

    Isnt there a black mirror episode with these exact same robot dogs being used to attack people.

    Honestly just knock them over with a broom or something.

      a certain megamaniacal administration that will not be named has been turning the screws on AI companies that will also not be named, with the express purpose of combining robots like these with AI and weaponry, to create autonomous anti-personnel robots.

        They are several steps ahead of you. They’ve been testing this stuff out in gaza for a couple of years plus. Not the robot dogs per se but autonomous kill bots.

    New planet Earth. DA voiceover, as the camera fades in and pans over warehouses: “Data. The source of life for the largest and fastest growing ecosystem on the planet. At dawn, this robot dog patrols it’s territory through the server racks of eastern Pennsylvania, hoping to survive another day, and protect it’s herd. On the horizon, the buzzing of a Luddite insurgent groups’ EMP drone flock approaches…”

        Your comment made me realize these could be a great digital attack vector. I assume they have wifi? And I doubt security was top of mind in the software development…

          Claude, code me a robot dog admin platform. I want to be able to monitor and control the dogs from my iOS tablet.

    “data”. More like digital noise almost indistinguishable from white noise at the large scale.

    This is very expensive compared to open Chinese dog platforms that have much more deployments. I don’t know the hardware capabilities comparison among alternatives, but they just need to climb stairs and have a camera, even if “all humanity will love see” them as a machine gun platform, or perhaps kung fu suspect incapacitation moves.

    multiple football fields
    four times the size of Manhattan’s Central Park

    Anything other than metric.


    Additional features:

    industrial inspection, site mapping and construction monitoring

    Turns out they have some actual utility.
    But cameras can’t smell well enough.

    Probably get about two or three lbs of copper out of the motors alone. Still not worth the gas unless you’re going to fill up the back of your truck with em though.
