Current flying drones are a lot scarier thsn dogs with machine guns
What would help at least me is to see this dogs actually used for something useful where they are the best solution, what I mean used in production not demos - because I can't imagine that many scenarios where are a good solution over a drone or a robot with wheels.
To be realistic. Spot (the dog) is not autonomous currently either. In fact it doesn't even use "AI", all of its movements are electrical and mechanical control theory on steroids ;)
The BD customer can integrate an AI to direct movements if desired but it's not what BD ships. BD instead offers a human operated remote control with camera system.
I might be missing something though, a scenario where an robot with legs can do better then a flying or wheeled one.
