These systems are able to navigate complex landscapes on their own, alert authorities about security threats, and can provide around-the-clock video surveillance.

If only there was a cheaper way to provide around-the-clock video surveillance. Alas, we don’t have the technology.

Even if you needed something mobile, it’s not like datacenters are exactly complex landscapes.
They don’t need something mobile. They can stick 1000 cameras up for the cost of one of these and have less up keep.
I was thinking the same thing. For surveillance, can’t they just use the iconic Camera on Wall. Or if they want to get really advanced with the surrounding premises: Camera on Pole.
Camera on pole can’t “remove” problems as quickly
I don’t think these can either, they don’t list attack or defensive capabilities on the feature list that I saw, I assume this is just an over glorified video camera that can follow the intruder around.
Not factory. But if Michael Reeves can teach one how to piss beer, I’m sure there’s options on the market.

You don’t need a robot dog to have a gun. If you really wanted to have a wall mounted camera with a gun on it, it would be just as easy.
