The operators of La Guardia Airport are paying thousands of dollars every month renting a security robot to patrol the airport — but the bot is creeping out women while the crooks look on and laugh.
“It’s upsetting to have that thing creep up on you,” said one female security guard at the airport, adding that she had just fended it off with a luggage cart.
“It’s a pain in the ass. It keeps bothering people.”
The airport deployed the R2-D2-esque Knightscope K5 three months ago to roll around outside Terminal B, recording everything with its four cameras, microphones and sensors.
LaGuardia Gateway Partners, which operates the terminal, wouldn’t say how much it’s paying for the blue-and-white machines, but Knightscope says it typically rents the droids out for between $6,500 and $8,300 a month.
Several other female passengers said they were irked when the machine rolled up and ogled them Thursday.
“It was coming right up to me, and at first, I was like, ‘What the freak is that?’ ” said Kris Cabagnot, 31, after the robot sat 10 inches away from her knee for a minute.
They paid for RoboCop — but got Bender.
“Capabilities include video surveillance; the ability to broadcast recorded and live messages in the event of an incident; and the ability to ensure it avoids people and objects in its path.”
