While the robotic dog seen at Mar-a-Lago is not armed, she says competitors appear to be experimenting with models that are.

“People are trying to weaponise these dogs,” Cummings adds, citing a Chinese model with an attached rifle which she learned about at a robotics meeting this week.

This is such a shame, I mean we could be putting those bots to good use.

Can I get a rule 34 on these robots?

Any robot is a sex robot if you are brave enough.

How did you even fit into that USB port????

Well you try one way, and then if that doesn't work, you roll over, and if that doesn't work then rolling over again should do the trick

Coo at them. Pet them. Call them a good doggie. Drop a treat on them, all in defiance.

That's a unique approach to suicide-by-cop

The ones at Mar-A-Lago are unarmed.

My approach to the armed ones, particularly the TASER-equipped ones used by some US law enforcement departments, would be very different.

They are also not autonomous. They have armed secret service agents very nearby. If the sensors on the dog alert them, trigger happy armed guards will come.

Joke's on them, I won the robot dogs over with my pets and can turn the sentry turrets against the guards.

They're guard dogs

It’s a golf coarse… it’d be perfect for the simplicity of wheels.
