They are not that fast. At least none that I've seen. I'd say they go like 10mph tops.
Quadcopters would be more efficient financially and more reliable. Probably faster too.
fr not encouraging anything illegal, buuut. The robot dog should only be used if the drone needs a place to stop mid way from the check point because of battery limitations or weather, as like a mobile outpost/command center to prevent easily spot able routing from places. Having the robo dog do the entire trip is quite wasteful on resources.
I was expecting this from quadcopters. I'd have thought they'd be more difficult to catch
Yeah but this was also advertising the service, a quadrocopter wouldn't do that as good. If anything I'm surprised they are just sacrificing the robo dog considering how expensive those are.
Once the cops find it, there's no stakeout-proof way to recover it.
Unless the robo dog doubled as a drone to make a quick getaway, it's just plainly an expensive walking mistake
The dog was a decoy
Untraceable drug delivery? Sign me up
Trivially traceable. Just follow the dog (discretely).
Ugh, I hate those missions.
This is EXACTLY the type of thing I expected from a cyberpunk dystopia
Right? Like did the creator of this image think more policing is less dystopian?
Militarized police, criminal syndicates using robots that destroy evidence when caught, to smuggle drugs, I don't think this person knows what cyberpunk is
That's awesome, I love drug dealing robo-dogs
To be honest I'm more worried because of Moscow than any robot dog.
Remember to tip your police officer and you'll be fine.
Why?
Reminds me of this meme
Bump, Ubu, bump. Good dog.
That's odd.
I think most of the time they just use dead drops, it's much safer.
Courier sticks drugs to a tree, walks away, sends a geo location of a drop to a buyer. Done.
Druggie just has to geolocate it, never meet in person.
What happened to the good old days when you got into the back of a car with a shady guy?
Thats for like 100 or less. Or for really risky dealers.
100 what? USD? If so, I used to routinely buy around that amount back when I was a cokehead and I still did it by getting in the back of the car. Perhaps it's just different cultures. I can't even imagine myself picking drugs from a tree (?)
HOW GET MONEY?
Paypal? Venmo? Monzo? Or in other words, with great ease...
I'd be uneasy with electronically transferring funds for illicit drugs, cash seems wiser.
How does the dealer get the cash without potentially exposing their location?
Yes, indeed. Hence the earlier, "HOW GET MONEY?" someone so eloquently asked in relation to this dead drop method. You could arrange your own dead drop for the dealer's payment I guess, or stuff the money in to the same tree. It's all a bit fraught, and requires you both to trust each other even more than a deal normally would. The system seems to be pretty flawed. Guess it works of you're happy to leave an indelible record of you transacting with this person and if you trust them to actually put the goods there rather than just take the money since you'll never see them and have no recourse.

Im actually amazed that while we supposedly have robo dogs we still have photos so blurry that you cant see shit.
I mean it's just matter of priority I suppose, if something is relatively cheap and effective there's no need to invest into 4k or higher quality cameras. Especially when you don't have the storage for a week of footage or few days that loop over each other. But that's just my assumption, if 4k becomes the norm and storage gets bigger and cheaper we might see good quality security footage.
Counterpoint: 4k camera modules are getting rapidly cheaper, it's standard in cell phones now. Gyroscope modules used to be crazy expensive, then Nintendo ordered 400 million of them for the Wii.

This is exactly the Cyberpunk we expected. Cyberpunk has never been shy about being a dystopia.
Practically the definition of the genre. It's not typically "punk" if it's a glistening utopia.
Using robots to do conduct black market trade under the nose of the police sounds extremely punk.
In this case the dystopia is the prohibition and storm troopers, not the robot dog.
Sounds extremely fishy. Those robo-dogs are expensive, they are slow - too slow to really act as couriers, and this is supposed to be Moscow - A city in a country under rather strict tech embagos, where you can't get them at the next corner shop.
I can't tell too much from the picture but I believe that's a Chinese robot and China will ship to Russia from what I understand. And I've seen those as low as $1600 and anyone can order them online. It still sounds fishy maybe the cops want an excuse to get their own

Not to mention the Russian police uniform doesn't look like that.
Depends
I stand corrected!
A city in a country under rather strict tech embagos
Chinese tech is not embargoed and, despite less cool videos, actually widely deployed.
