Should a robot detect something wrong, it can squeak, whistle and make other loud noises intended to prevent criminals and others from causing troubles.
The Knightscope security robot like the one that just drowned looks something like a rounded dalek. It is a cheap way to have a roving guard patrolling sensitive, public areas. It cost only $7 per hour to rent out, and has special skills including the ability to fight attack and not get bored. Robots of this type are a good alternative to people so that they may not have to carry out dull patrolling jobs.[/quote]
