I watched the kids on TV play with an automated dog and my mind went wild. Let's bore 'n' stroke this puppy and see how fast she runs.
Enter the AKS, the Automated K9 Sentry System. He has dual cameras for measuring distance, night-vision and infrared functions. His sense of smell can detect anything around the home from smoke to CO2 to human breath. He gets up from his doggy bed recharging station, patrols the home stopping at possible entry breach points. Has a presence mode and a stealth mode. There is a family interactive function that allows him to "act like a dog". He has monitor functions so he can check the health status of family members and alert the Meds when necessary. He has a protect mode, calls the cops, has surveillance streaming video, is hooked to cell phone and PC.
Now the scary part. Has nanobot fleas. Can be programmed to hump the leg of unwelcome house guest.
Imagine being locked in a house with a mechanical dog gone mad, Cujo-rx7 anyone? Man broke into a AKS facility and was brutality mauled by a pack of off the shelf AKS's.
News flash, man gets 20 years for orchestrating AKS dog fights violating the robot laws of Asimov.
By the way, you can down custom bark files for your AKS from the local app store. And we know you all miss cleaning up after a pooch so there is an entire line of fake barf, poop, chewed shoes and torn couch pillows. Veterinarians protest against having to study robotics to care for mechanical family pets. My cats are rolling on the floor with laughter (they like dog jokes).
