Patrolling in what way? Just being there is not a deterrent for a damn thing.

It has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won't take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The robot is gonna fall into a bad crowd soon after being deployed.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Thank you for the reference, but also F you for suggesting Johnny Five is anything less than a miracle. A miracle with a laser that kills people.

Just a heads up, you replied to the bot, not the person who linked to that timeless classic.

Okay, so criminals are like "It saw us with our masks on. We have 10 minutes to get out of here...". Not a great deterrent.

Ya, my immediate though is this things going to get annihilated somehow quick. Throw on a hat and big sunglasses, push it into the tracks, bye bye.
