    These systems are able to navigate complex landscapes on their own, alert authorities about security threats, and can provide around-the-clock video surveillance.

    If only there was a cheaper way to provide around-the-clock video surveillance. Alas, we don’t have the technology.

      Even if you needed something mobile, it’s not like datacenters are exactly complex landscapes.

        They don’t need something mobile. They can stick 1000 cameras up for the cost of one of these and have less up keep.

          I was thinking the same thing. For surveillance, can’t they just use the iconic Camera on Wall. Or if they want to get really advanced with the surrounding premises: Camera on Pole.

              I don’t think these can either, they don’t list attack or defensive capabilities on the feature list that I saw, I assume this is just an over glorified video camera that can follow the intruder around.

        They’re getting all these dystopian nightmare ideas from video games and scifi. People have proven you can sneak past these things inside of a cardboard box.

        They are BEGGING for some metal gear carnage.

      You know the video part is training data for autonomous weapons right? Like sure if all you want to do is video surveillance this is overkill, but maybe this is about more than surveillance?
