SPOILERS!!! You can't just leak the new Robocop sequel plot like that! Wait, wait this is actually a plausible real-world scenario. Isn't that just wild? Who needs ED-209 terrorizing the streets when you could have a robotic 'dog' that could just shove its way through a crowd and start emitting an ear-slitting cacophony of disruptive sounds to encourage a crowd to disperse them. Imagine, a line of them directing sound in one direction, creating a disorienting and potentially painful 'wall of sound' slowly pushing the crowd away from them. If that fails they fan out into the crowd, lower to the ground and and bring their limbs in to protect them and start puffing out a mist of pepper spray straight up into the air while its 'packmates' are similarly spread out throughout the crowd. If an officer goes down, or a citizen, you can move the dogs to their location and have them start a circle around them to create a defensive deterrent from violent protesters or a stampeding crowd while using a speaker to reassure the wounded person (if conscious) that help is on the way. As help approaches you can even have them create a corridor, nudging people to make a hole in the crowd or again, using a painful sound, to encourage people to move out of the way. You could also use one or more to ferry out body armor, additional ammunition or weapons systems, medical supplies etc. Depending on the situation a drone might not be usable (weight, too conspicuous, low clearance) and these would be more practical. You could probably slightly modify and use these dogs in a combat/shooting situation as well. Have one run out and hook a clip to the drag handle on an injured person's carrier (body armor) and either use a winch back at a safe location to pull them to safety or simply send enough of these units out to pull them back under the power of the dogs. For that matter you could arm one of these too with less than lethal or a more traditional round. Send a couple into a building under remote control just ahead of people when clearing a building. You could also equip these with any number of sensor packages and send them into areas that might be dangerous to humans not wearing a considerable amount of PPE. They could probably cover more distance, and go faster, than tracked robots (that often have wires running back to the operator). They could go in under radio control sending back live video or go in 'roomba' style and explore for x amount of time before returning with whatever data they capture.
