The Sharp would pummel the Knightscope in a dark alley.

I attended the training last week and came away extremely impressed. The amount of time and effort put into this product is very apparent. One item of note is that Sharp is encouraging other vendors to build/modify on their solution, unlike Knightscope which uses, and insists on using, Avigilon cameras (need I say more?)
Now to maybe garner some FUNNY votes, I agree with the first poster! Let's start a campaign to put Sharp against Knightscope in a BattleBots arena at ISC West! If you've never seen BattleBots, check it out here:

I have been pursued by one of these robotics companies recently to come in and head their sales division. I have to honestly say... what they're doing is a hell of a lot more exciting than anything I've witnessed in CCTV for at least the last ten years. There's a lot more here than meets the eye with this emerging technology... there's a lot more in the background that's relevant and applicable to all of us reading this thread than we might think.
I, for one, am extremely charged up about it, and if the culture aligns with my mind's eye, I will definitely be making the move.

Far preferable in a gated neighborhood patrol than George Zimmerman.

I think this is the beginning. Augmented reality is going to be apart of the future of surveillance and security. I have been watching DJI for a few years now and own one of their drones and am getting a second one. It's incredible what it can do while sitting on my back deck. With the new AR glasses soon to come out (some already out). We will start to see more real world applications. Until battery life is improved, we're kind of at a standstill for wireless technology.
What I see here seems bulky and slow, and not much of a deterrent. If I want to get around it, I just wait until it goes around the corner. It's probably easier to bypass this than a security guard walking around. Putting a drone in the sky seems more realistic.
DJI has come a long ways in the last four years. I am excited to see what comes out in the years to come.AR Glasses Commercial

Why can't this "robot" charge itself?
Even a Roomba charges itself.
IMHO, This seems like a remote vehicle first and formost and an autonomous guard secondly.

It looks like A+ is already doing promos for their UGV offering. They are quite bullish, a quote from the link:

Be honest everybody, doesn't it look a little smaller in "real-life" than you thought it was?

Cool concept, not at all practical. Not worth the money. You can't replace a real person as a security guard with a robot (not yet). This would be a fun toy, or added layer if it was cost effective. 20 million in sales? Hah! I can't imagine any security director buying into this.

UPDATE:
The Sharp robots are being deployed to patrol marijuana grow facilities.
If they could alter it a bit to look like an ice cream truck it would be the perfect fit.
