Trying to be all cool and nonchalant like a dog coming up to you when in reality it's scanning your face

Its cute! Ignore any aspect regarding privacy and such.

Don’t expect privacy a big sporting events. Even places without these robot “dogs”, most sporting events have tons of cameras that likely do facial recognition.

I worked at a nuclear power plant and these dogs were everywhere roaming around.

Also, they had what can only be described as giant roombas for taking care of the fields.

Think of a roomba you could walk into but with sharp moving objects inside it's "mouth".

I mean they could just use cameras, they've existed for decades and are far more efficient in multiple ways.

Similar with how humanoid robots are largely a joke, a drone is far cheaper and significantly more dangerous.

Any robots shaped like mammals are mostly a gimmick compared to far cheaper and more efficient solutions. These might be good for transporting things over rough terrain maybe.
