This corresponds to something I heard at GSX from a company that tested a security robot. It got stuck in loose gravel at an infrastructure location. It was definitely "not currently moving" when the security group went to check on it, though it was making a mighty effort. Pretty much the state of the market for security robots.
I think security robots will start to catch on about 5-7 years after Knightscope collapses and the industry re-addresses the approach without the hype and goofiness of the current products.

Not to disagree with IPVM... On the one hand, overall adoption is not that much changed in the past 2 years.
What has changed is the level of negativity towards security robots among serious people in the industry. From a marketing perspective, that is very bad. Knightscope may be happy to take selfies with random people but building trust with real buyers or channel partners is key.

when was the last time kick ass commercial (i.e. designed to make money) technology was developed by an 'alliance' of manufacturers?
Anyone who thinks the Robolliance 'raised awareness' to robotics in the security industry is most probably someone who formed or joined the now defunct Robolliance.
It was/is no secret that security robots exist and that there are at least a few start-ups who have convinced others to invest in their particular development vision.
Most of us will, instead, wait to 'invest' our time and effort in to something that actually solves customer problems - like video analytics had to figure out before any numbers of customers started buying them.

The second poll did not make much sense to me. Why would manfacturer want integrators to sell robots? And what Value does integrators add to robots?

Second poll was for integrators. We were asking security integrators if they were interested in trying to sell securty robots to their end-user customers. I assume manufacturers of robots would want security integrators to sell them so they could make money off of manufacturing robots.
