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.
And use AI to actually monitor the thousand cameras. Ask me how I know.
