Police robot told woman go away after she tried to report crime then sang a song (2019)

Edit 2: Article is from 2019…

Isn’t this the same robot where the indoor navigation is so bad that it ended up throw itself into a indoor fountain?

Edit: Just noticed they mentioned it on the bottom of the article. Didn’t know they hit a kid too in a mall…

This police robot looks like a walking meme. I can't imagine anything legitimately good coming out of that thing.

At least it sang a song, slight improvement over the fleshy police.

On a serious note, can Amazon (-> MGM -> Orion Pictures) make them stop calling this thing “RoboCop”?

I've seen ads on television to buy this company's stock.

perhaps this story is somewhat relevant in a meta sense regarding the ethics and viability of robotics, but more generally, I'm so, so sick of British news outlets - from the Daily Mail to the BBC - running out of local news and deciding that American news is equally relevant, and further than that, titling the articles as if they were local news

why should I have to know every time there's a mildly notable political event, or murder, or celebrity occurrence, thousands of miles away in a completely different country?
