still think it's cute?

Well all jokes aside, I think that stuff like that in the future may be a very real possibility. We're already having machines replace a handful of jobs in certain countries (hotel receptionist, trucking, fast food joints). It wouldn't be so far fetched to think that one day, this might actually be the case.

one thing is I do have a hard time picturing such a little cute robots navigating through a canadian snowstorm in the middle of december or even january.

The cold would also deplete the battery pretty quickly unless it was designed in a way that shield it from it.

My expectations seeing this thread >>> Reality
Sigh...

Just wait until they're everywhere scanning your implanted ID chip & barking orders at you. I'd boot the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing into a river.

I think Singapore's police has too much money.

People do assault robots. There's one that looks like a cross between a dalek and an R2D2 and people kept throwing it into a fountain.

N/M, I looked it up, the buttplug robot drowned itself.

I'm expecting the first drone speed camera to be announced any day now.

Police always used robots to remove bombs and other stuff.

in before we start seeing giant police mecha unit like in patlabor.

[8ullfrog]

I've seen machine gun bots where they slapped a SAW on top of a dragon runner, and I think the Dallas police once blew a guy up with one.

They will be real one day. Soon they will replace real police since they will be immune to bullets.

At least normal bullets. Lol.
