Does this robot intimidate you?


The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty To Animals say this Security Robot in San Francisco, dubbed K9 is being hired to to SHOO AWAY HOMELESS PEOPLE from outside smart office buildings!!

It will patrol the streets because of the growing amounts of crime related to homeless people on sidewalks...despite the fact that they are being warned by officials they will be fined $1000 a day if they continue to use it!

They hired this futuristic robot to work outside the officie as it was designed by Knightscope that weighs 400lbs and is 1.5m tall.

Jennifer Scarlett said "We weren't able to use the sidewalks at all when there's needles and tents and bikes so from a walking standpoint, i find the robot much easier to navigate than an encampment"

However in a week its clashed with locals as people put BBQ all over it or put a tarp over it so it can't see..

It's rented for as little as 7 dollars an hour, far less than the minimum wage of 14 an hour in California

It's a crime fighting robot that relies on cameras, lidar-thermal imaging to navigate

Laser scanning can detect changese in an environment while odour detectors sense other changes and monitor air pollution.

Does this robot intimidate you?
