The robot dog, robot dog, from Boston Dynamics was actively used by the NYPD for a patrol in the Bronx, as you can see from the following video:

With its cameras it can be useful for exploring dark, small or dangerous areas. The problem is that the look is creepy, even thinking that, in the past, to launch an art exhibit, some have tested a paint gun on the dog's back, and it worked quite well, showing that the robotic dog can be easily used with weapons.

Of course Alexandria Ocasio Cortez got very angry about using the Robotic dog, named Spot, to control the New York slums.

“When was the last time you saw a futuristic technology used for schools, healthcare, homes and in general for communities with few services like this”. Indeed, for once, a good question. But we are sure that you feel more comfortable with a $ 75,000 robot dog around you
