    These are copying human movements i think. But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.

      You’re saying that like it’s not inpressive even if that were true. Human motion capture can’t react fast enough to loss of balance with the speed of the moves they were doing (neither can a fully pre-programmed routine with no real time processing), especially for something smaller than the human operator for which you wouldn’t have the intuition of how to right it, especially with conventional motion capture that doesn’t give you feedback like moving your body does (unless they built a fully featured motion capture system that’s both super low latency and gives the operator complete and accurate mechanical feedback on all degrees of freedom, in which case you’d think they’d feature that more than the robots themselves because that’s way more impressive.) Even if they were all piloted by humans, they’re still autonomously processing all those motion inputs to be compatible with its body.

      But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.

      Don’t worry, we’ll never have this problem in the West because humans over here like being police bastards too much to let some robots take their fun away.

        I mean, sure, you can probably make an argument for less racism when we have robots. But still, its going to be pretty horrible for everyone.

          Probably not one that stands up to scrutiny.

          If they have fixed programming, the bias would be consistent, but still there, because it would be based upon systems that are already inherently bias.

          Any current ML system is beholden to the data/constraints it was built with, if inherent bias exists in the data it will exist in the resulting system.

          That’s before you even start taking in to account the infrastructure that would be managing them being potentially corrupt or having their own interpretations of “public safety”.

          “These bots from <generic third party> are bringing in more cases against the <“good” people>, but these ones from <tech company with the same bigoted ideology as us> can be tweaked to target the <“bad” people>, which of these two companies should we purchase our inventory from ?”

    Once receiving the signal Chinese household robots sold to the west gonna do project atomic heart, by kicking you in the nuts.
