Anyone who has seen the recent Anglo/French version of War of the Worlds (not the woke BBC version) or Black Mirror will have a shiver down their spines at the sight of these!

I wonder how long before someone demonstrates how easy it is to hack and take control. What one person can invent another can circumvent.

I'm not suprised the guy has his face covered. Who would want to be seen with that. Just give him a proper dog.

Does it squat and deposit a small pile of nuts, screws, washers and bolts ?

What's the running costs of a dog and intial purchase compared to this? will it recognise your ID card when you present it to it like an RAFP Dog would?

More importantly can it sniff out intruders?

The handler carries a pouch of 3/8th Whitworths for when it's a "good doggie!"

Can it raise a barrier??

Can it raise a barrier??

I would have thought that would be easy, after all it can open doors.

Can it bite?

[racedo]

Does it chase rabbits ?

I remember seeing a wonderful out take of Liz Staden , K9 and Tom Baker as the Doctor,
K9 has just delivered its usual "Master ,,,,,etc,etc, " summation,
Baker went off script:

" K9 , why the f*ck is it you always seem to know everythng?"

How long before someone brings out a civilian "pet" version?

Sony has already brought out two versions of their Aibo robot dog.
They must be watching this with keen interest as the relative sluggishness of the Aibo was a drawback.
