A distinctive-looking bot on wheels with sensors and cameras could one day play the role of beat cop — but first, it will help find you a parking spot.

The robot’s unique design was a deliberate attempt to make an “incredibly friendly” robot, Stacy Stephens marketing chief at Knightscope, which builds the bots, told NBC News.

Anticipating people’s unease at encountering an all-seeing watcher bot, cute factor was key. “We wanted to be more like R2D2 and much less like Terminator or Robocop,” Stephens, who was a beat cop in Dallas for three years, said.

The result is a 5-foot tall, 300 lb. robot named K5, which ran through some autonomous abilities at a demo last week.
