Robot Drug Delivery Dog is so much better than Robot NYPD Mass-Surveillance dog that I almost can't express how happy OP makes me.
https://apnews.com/article/robot-dog-nypd-61bd64c94360e30f110f65626cc1687c
The city’s first robot police dog was leased in 2020 by Adams’ predecessor, former Mayor Bill de Blasio, but the city’s contract for the device was cut short after critics derided it as creepy and dystopian.
Adams said he won’t bow to anti-robot dog pressure.
It's hard for me to believe this strictly because A) those things are fucking expensive, and B) aren't they like ....hella fucking fast??
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.
This guy efficiently drug deals.
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
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.
Reminds me of this meme
That's hilarious and I hope you don't mind that I'm going to steal it to post.
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?
That's awesome, I love drug dealing robo-dogs
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.
The 3 industries that will always have the money and be on the forefront of innovation:
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.
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?
HOW GET MONEY?
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
Bump, Ubu, bump. Good dog.
This is most likely a joke. It hasn't been confirmed if the powder is/ were drugs.

"After inspection, it was found that the packages the robot was carrying contained a powder resembling illegal substances."
"After inspection, it was found that the packages the robot was carrying contained a powder resembling illegal substances."
Moscow Police: Oh, silly me. Did I say packages? I meant package—singular. 😏
In this case the dystopia is the prohibition and storm troopers, not the robot dog.
This may be the coolest fucking thing ever
