I wonder how they solved the "upskirt small robot problem"? It seems you can easily drive through the crowd and see the underwear of those wearing a skirt. This seems like a very murky and dangerous legal position to be in, and it depends on each state of the USA and on each country laws are different.
The most realistic solution I thought is to put the cameras high enough so that this becomes a non-issue.
Source: I made some robots for fun but never put them on the street, and this was one of my main concerns.
- harperlee 7y agoThat sound very... japanese?
- franciscop 7y agoI do live in Japan, and it is a big issue here
- dokem 7y agoWe have access to real porn in the US so no one is really going to bother with videoing up strangers skirts en mass.
- dbcurtis 7y agoThis should not be downvoted. Privacy considerations are very important for a robot with cameras. I worked for a while at a company that makes delivery robots that operate in hotels. Camera placement was a huge consideration. Not too low for the the obvious reasons. But also angled such that they don't record faces.
- dTal 7y agoIt may well eventually be the case that cameras become so pervasive that it will simply not be tenable to leave the house wearing clothing that is revealing from any angle at all. Or to put it another way, it might be easier to do away with skirts than to attempt to ban certain camera angles.
