I’m just wondering about the internal components on mall cop robots like the Knightscope K5. It must be using a GPU and some pretty nice cameras, right? These are common models found in the United States. I have worked closely with knockoff BD dogs, I’m not talking about those, I’m talking about the Dalek looking things.
Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s vulnerable to a short-range EMP burst. Just make sure to leave your phone and smartwatch at home.
Local municipalities only have so much in their budgets for this crap, and these things are very expensive. If enough of them fail/are destroyed/go missing forever… well, the local budget won’t be able to keep replacing them indefinitely…
There aren’t short-range EMP burst emitters, that’s sci-fi pretend. These are real robot flashlight caddies they deploy at outdoor malls in Ohio.
they are probably vulnerable to being stolen and stripped for parts.
probably some expensive shit in there.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Just need to throw some foil on it and you’ve got a very expensive new buddy.
