        I think they wouldn’t know what to do with a horse. If it’s AI powered it’ll probably ignored. If it’s hand programmed I doubt the programmers considered horse or horse like beings

          Ok so I read the article and turns out there are no proper attacking capabilities yet, but it is possible that the control AI which is receiving all video feed will raise and alarm on finding something unexpected, assuming the programing is done properly.

      But:

      • That won’t get you millions increase in investor funding, which also lets you increase your pay-cheque
      • You need to buy them from actual dog trainers, which are people and will eventually stop selling to you once you either become too evil for them or you murder them
      • They are a supply chain risk as once you eventually piss off the dog trainer by 4x-ing his electricity bills and getting your AI to tell the govt. to shoot his family, he can then bypass the dogs using his smell, because they would be familiar with him.

      Naw, they’ll get legislation passed that carves our extra protections for their robot guard dogs.

      Considering these companies own the legislative process, and the government formed and ran by the people no longer serves the people, and is instead a funnel for class traitors to enforce the will of the Epstein class on all of us.

        Mate, I don’t care if it’s illegal. I’m hunting me a few dozen, nay, hundred clanker dogs, and I’ll be laughing all the way to jail IF they ever catch me !

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

    So I’m not as caught up in the current state of robotics as I’d like… The article talks about these being used to patrol, do safety inspections, and the like.

    Wouldn’t it be cheaper to replace each of these with a dozen quadrocopter drones?

      Tbh different tolerences. Drones can be smaller and can fly but also more ways to fail. I bet these (i mean for the price they better be) are more reliable. Even if its windy, snowy, or raining.

        Maybe… More complicated limbs struck me as more prone to failure than rotors, and more expensive to maintain and replace

          Fair. I guess all air borne thibg suffer from being a potential energy battery (they fall) and have to be made much lighter to be reasonably energy effecrive.

          Honstly RC car is probally better most of the time

    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.

    SMASH THE CLANKERS ! Any solid metal rod will do ! Get out there and smash those sorry imitations of “dogs” to pieces !
