[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;46534767]Okay, so what's stopping someone from taking control of these via hacking or signal jamming, and just having a dandy old time being a criminal still.[/QUOTE]
Most criminals don't work with a hacker, and most hackers couldn't do much harm alone.

i think they'll think about going to get their buddy, some tow-straps, and a crow bar, these are going to be stolen immediately

Stealing a robot covered in surveillance cameras sounds like a great idea.

What..? You do realize that hacking into things isn't exactly the most complicated thing to do in the world right?

Even when this is something as simple as over-loading the wifi network, or taking control of known exploits that have been around for god knows how long, it still proves a valid point. These type of robots are probably based on a system that's either directly giving them orders from the police station, or basing off wifi signals nearby. Either of which would be easily exploitable in a similar method to the one provided in that video.

As katbug has said earlier on, these types of things will not be placed infront of simple crappy stores. It'll most likely be put into parking lots to protect vehicles, and in similar method you how you can already use a signal to take direct control of a car to stop it's breaking systems and shit:

Do not be surprised when hackers start joining the ranks of criminals to make extra cash. Their job would probably be twice as easy as the actual dirty work of stealing and chop shopping stuff like this.

Put tape over cameras, jam GPS signal, steal robot.
Not that hard really.
If it was designed to break up confrontations, it'd be effective to ring off an alarm or maybe call 911 automatically if the fight/assault got real nasty.
Hell, just a large alarm would garner enough attention to the situation to start to break it off from sheer embarrassment/exposure of the fight.
Why not just use quadrocopters?
I'd think that that would be cheaper. And those can fly.

Can't you just sneak up behind one, and slip a trash bag over it?
[QUOTE=Ardosos;46584211]Can't you just sneak up behind one, and slip a trash bag over it?[/QUOTE]
Kinda hard to sneak up on something that appears to have a 360º field of view. (Look at the pic in the OP, it clearly shows a camera every 90º.)
So couldn't I just disguise myself as one of these robots to break in and steal your stuff?

Did you not watch that sensationalist VICE video at all????
They put a goddamn Arduino with some sort of network shield in the CANBUS.
To do this "hack" you'd need to break into the car, and plug the device into the OBDII port, or hotwire it physically to the CANBUS. If it's plugged into the OBDII, disabling it would simply be just disconnecting the connector from the port.
This is literally a project that Sparkfun Electronics has documentation on, and you're treating it like "AW JEEZ HACKERS GUNNA GET MY CAR"
[editline]27th November 2014[/editline]
It's an Arduino and 2 Arduino shields.
shadowrun when?

I was about to say this until I saw your post. Why not use autonomous quadcopters that can land and dock with a charging station when needed? I suppose wind/weather may be an issue but still.
Then it would truly be like one of these:

Pretty soon in the future some pizza parlors might hire discarded security drones and use them for entertainment.
Just walk up to it holding a bedsheet in front of yourself then cover the robot with it, that way you cover yourself for as long as the robot can see you.
