Very nice CGI. Totally crap design of a robot - but nice CGI.
Somehow, I think a police robot is going to be covered in 10mm armour, will not carry a weapon, have 360 degree vision, (Two eyes suck!) and be substantially larger than the one depicted.
Also, somehow, I can't accept a police robot firing at human beings. There's just NO WAY anyone is going to accept that. A robot has no moral code which could permit it to decide when (or who!) to shoot. (Remember ED-109 in robocop?)
Robots are great recon devices - but leave the shooting to the humans please! Dumb-a$s CGI designers. Brilliant at rendering, stupid as a door-post in design. I think Jerry Bruckheimer might have been involved...
