People seem to forget all the other things that companies have guards doing...like responding to first aid incidents, de-escalating in tough situations before they become violent...the tech is there but their understanding of the problem isn't mature enough yet.

I'm refraining from voting as I'm afraid my objectivity has been compromised at the thought of TOTALLY REAL SECURITY ROBOTS YOU GUYS OMG.

until we get security robots like this I am afraid not one is going to get excited.... for good or bad reasons

Note: we are going to stop doing posts on security robots unless there is some major breakthrough.
The reads on these posts are very low, indicating most people simply do not care, which is probably a reasonable 'wisdom of crowds' metric given the current state of offerings.

This is awesome however Scot makes a great point. The actual approach to a possible violent situation between multiple people a robot will never be able to handle. Cant wait to see development in the future however.

A fire exhausting robot which detects humans trapped inside burning buildings and gives oxygen automatically would make sense for me, nothing else.

Can't someone just mount a wireless camera on one of those robot vacuums? Then they could replace the guards, and the janitorial staff too. That's a lot more savings!

This Mini-IPO interest thing is a joke.
I saw this tweet.
Then I went to the site and registered my interest for $500,000, see screencap and my markups:
Before, it was at $37.9 million and after I indicated my interest, it was accepted and went to $38.4 million.
What is the point of this metric at all?

Just received the following email from Knightscope, looks like they are going through with this:

UPDATE:
You are now able to formally invest in Knightscope.
They are doing this as a Tier 1, Regulation A+ offering. Knightscope is looking to raise $20M, the maximum allowable under Tier 1. A Tier 2 offering would allow them to raise up to $50M, but would also require the company to provide audited financials and event updates.
If you "expressed interest" in the early round, as I did, then you have probably also received multiple emails from Knightscope about the mini IPO going live. I have over 2 dozen emails from Knightscope/Seedinvest encouraging me to "take a stand against crime, violence, and terrorism" by investing.
