Just wait until they start putting tasers on these things. Which will admittedly make them look more like Daleks; come to think of it, why don’t they look more like Daleks?  A widened, armored base and skirt would probably help with stability.

  1. Looks more like a rudimentary Portal bot to me.
    I can almost hear the squeaky little voice.

  2. My question is, at what point [tech/computer costs going down, usefulness up, need up] does every fast food/business/doctor’s office have a security robot? Or every order kiosk also gets a taser, “just in case?”

  3. “We know decision making is best left to real people.”

    Well, it does depend on the people. 2017 is shaping up to be the year which confirms that some people should not be allowed out of the house without their parents.
