C.R.A.B. Robot: The Future of Policing?
Jamie Martin Design have come up with their take on the future of policing: C.R.A.B. (Cybernetic Autonomous Remote Barricade) Robot. We’ve seen it in films, nations policed by robots, and the thought is both exciting and unnerving. Modeled and animated in Maxon Cinema 4D and edited in Final Cut Pro, Jamie Martin’s design is not necessarily what government’s will be choosing…
Equipped with serious weaponry, absurd armor and a destructive mentality, the C.R.A.B. is a fiction masterpiece: a joint venture between weapons manufacturer Dalton/Stanley and megacorporation Omni Consumer Products. In all honesty, the quality of Jamie’s presentation on his site is so convincing that it almost takes a full circle and becomes irresponsible, with taglines like “due to soon be trialled live on the streets of London, England”. I almost believed it at first.
The idea is that this is a sort of grandiose armed security robot, placed to stand guard at areas of importance. It’s equipped with 2 over-sized weapons, one on either side of it’s main body. The large cylinders that the guns are fixed onto house huge coils of ammunition. The body is mounted on a 360-degree rotatable platform, which is maneuverable via crab-like legs. Perhaps not the most ‘sensible’ approach to a method of movement, but one I thought created an interesting/different concept at least.
