Critics are not fully convinced though.
During a media briefing, the City Mayor and other officials also pushed the robotic dog occasionally to demonstrate that it could stand. They asked themselves again.Critics of technology adoption, however, are not convinced. The induction of the robotic dogs was criticized over fears of surveillance and invasion of individual privacy. Rights activists told the NYT that while the robotic dog was a handy tool for the Fire Department, it did not justify its use by the police.
Instead, they sought more details of the dog's role in the garage collapse operations and asked the police to furnish more detailed information, which would help in determining if the robotic dog's position was indeed necessary, as the officials were suggesting. Although the dog can stream video of what it sees at the site back to its handlers, the feed is not recorded, so there is no evidence to support the claims.
Apart from the robotic dog, even drones were dispatched to the site, but the department has stopped praising their role. Robot dogs are also controversial due to their high price tags. Acquired for $75,000, the dogs were modified to add special features, raising their costs to $250,000.
