KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A sight previously thought to be science fiction is very real at a southeast Kansas City shopping center. Instead of a police officer, a security robot has been patrolling sidewalks and shoppers are taking notice.
Since Marshall the robot has been on the job, shoppers say the experiences have completely changed when they come to these stores. The robot can spend 23 hours a day monitoring the parking lot from all angles which gives people a new sense of protection and ease they don’t always have when out.
Marshall took over security at Brywood Centre in April. Before that, Karen White noticed a lot of trouble outside the shopping center.
“Sometimes it’d be concerning for your car like someone could take it or something,” White said.
Knowing now that Marshall is always watching, the risk of crime does not worry her or others as much.
“It made it very better, like you can’t be in the parking lot without seeing the robot,” White continued. “So, I think it scared them off.”
exactly my thought
people consumed all these dystopian movies and thought “what a great rubric for society!” we’re so removeded lol. These death machines (like drones and such) are also where the most work and funding go for machine learning and AI research too. What could go wroooong
Don’t post pictures of text
It isn’t just text in this case
Its mostly text. how can blind people read the text? We need to downvote people who post pictures of text without transcribing it. Mods are really failing at this
