Robo Dog Invited or Invasive? CCTV cameras are ubiquitous in cities today. Now, digital security dogs may be joining the lineup. The #bostonrobotics dog, which has garnered a lot of attention, is being considered for use in some retail and public spaces as security. I was recently invited to test the robot in a public space as part of an experiment in public psychological safety & perception. It was fascinating to observe the robotic presence and auto movements in the public realm. Some people felt they should pet it as you might to a real dog, because of its naturalistic movement, but soon realised it was hard plastic they were patting. The question arises: Are we in the early days of Robocop or Robodog even? Is this invited or invasive? What do you think? #robotic #robodog #security #publicspace
