The NYPD's robot dog is once again stirring privacy concerns and cyberpunk prophesies of some New Yorkers, after the four-legged machine was spotted inside of a Manhattan public housing complex on Monday.
A video shared on Twitter shows the robot trotting out of a building on East 28th Street in front of two NYPD officers, then slowly descending the stairs as bystanders look on in shock. "I've never seen nothing like this before in my life," one woman can be heard saying.

Robotics and AI are going to be a bigger part of policing and warfare in the coming years. This is also just whats shown to the public. Military is said to be 10 yrs ahead of the tech shown to the public.
Lots of Robocop and Terminator vibes here. Not kidding.
They do look bizarre out of the lab. Here’s one of their earlier models. Pretty cool except for the chainsaw going at full blast part. I could use one of the little ones for hauling groceries.
