Here is the Knightscope K5 they're talking about: ![]() ![](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.arstechnica.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F11%2Fv2-0-K5Dude_Crop-640x584.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=6545a86bd9f97b662ddeb45b262b26f15b2e4d95455db46afb5f6f86598089f0&ipo=images) These are it's featured capabilities So...a wheeled surveillance drone, not ED-209. I believe robodogs are also on order.

I can't wait for someone to trip over a robot dog, claim massive injury, and sue the city...

DalekFred might start getting jealous he's a user with a love of cumbersome robots he even said that Henry Cavill could never really understand him.

Maybe they could just borrow a few of these guys from Karras: ![](https://images.gog-statics.com/81635841e4ca8bca71d4cc4d9511c49199dda2a9b5e0ec7c4626484995e51976.jpg) Or a few of these guys if they're serious about being nonlethal: ![](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thief/images/b/b7/Mechworkerbot.jpg)

Human cops are better but it's good to know the mayor is a huge Robocop fan.

We'll see. I appreciate...on the one hand...the importance in law enforcement matters to have 'eyes on'...but only time will tell if the deployment of these machines actually serve the public as intended. On the other hand, there is no shortage of crimes recorded on existing surveillance and smart phones authorities can't or won't act upon already...so more coverage might not be the solution it is advertised to be. Better handcuffs for cops who's arrests won't get charged by progressive DAs is not improving anything.

What they really need is a Star Trek-esque stun gun that ends all confrontations relatively quickly and peacefully.

So basically a walking trashcan? Any idea what the price tag on that thing is?
