Robocops is Now

Robotics firm Knightscope has announced its plans to deploy autonomous guards for hire in Silicon Valley. You can rent some too, starting as low as $6.25/hour with at least a year contract on a MaaS (Machine-as-a-Service) rental basis. The robots can be equipped for the following.

• Video
• Audio
• Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR)
• Hyper local weather station Badge / card reader
• Radio frequency identification (RFID) reader
• Rogue router detection
• Infrared vision
• Thermal imaging
• Face detection
• Radiation detection
• Chemical weapon detection
• Biological weapon detection
• Pathogen sensor

I wonder how much testing has been done to make sure we don’t have an evil Robocop botnet army attacking us.
