Robot Vandalism

By: John Honovich, Published on Dec 11, 2017

Vandalism of security systems is a common concern. It is so common that camera vandalism statistics show that designers routinely sacrifice camera optimal viewing positioning to mount cameras high and far enough away to minimize vandalism.

This same problem, and likely worse, is coming to security robots. In this note, we examine a new case from Knightscope, the poster boy robot of mishaps.
