A recent viral video asked a question that most Georgians never even imagined they would have to come up with:
Why are there patrolling robot dogs with Indian accents all over the place?
'These thieves tried to get away from the robot.'
A video on X showed a robot security dog with bright lights at an apartment complex in Atlanta, adding that it seemed to "speak in Indian accents to the residents."
With nearly 2 million views, the clip is just one of many of its kind noticing that the machines have "Indian accents" or are "Indian controlled."
The answer to where the robot came from is a lot easier to field than pinpointing the source of any accents.
The bots residents are likely running into are from Atlanta-based company Undaunted, which has dozens of security dogs patrolling the city.
According to a report from Atlanta News First in May, Undaunted had already deployed bots to more than three dozen commercial and residential properties in the city in just one year. Reuters noted in August that more than 120 robodogs were being put into service.
The ANF report said apartment complexes and properties have been rife with car break-ins, loitering, and other illegal activity that has been deterred by the patrolling security.
"I love it," one resident told the local channel.
A local property owner also said the dogs provide visibility in hard-to-reach areas that conventional surveillance cannot see.
"They can go behind bushes and into areas that, generally, our monitoring controls don't reach," she said.

"These thieves tried to get away from the robot," Undaunted CEO Bryan Dinner told ANF. "What they didn't know is that there are three robots on this property."
Indeed, the bots are being spotted regularly by residents, but their presence comes with a hefty price tag.
Undaunted's website explains its "plug-and-play robotic" guards cost $3,333 per month for its base package, which comes with two robotic guards, two charging stations, and monitoring for eight hours per day, seven days a week.
Add-ons can get the customer longer monitoring hours and additional robots.
Those live agents residents are noticing are Undaunted's "live operators," who intervene via audio, alert police, and notify customers, the company says.

However, the CEO told Reuters in August that while the company can provide security at about half the cost of traditional humans, it will not physically intervene and does not come equipped with weapons.
"We are never going to put offensive weapons on our robots," Dinner told ANF.
Blaze News reached out to Undaunted to ask if any of its live agents are located overseas or are employed through H-1B visas, but did not get a reply.

The U.S. Dept. of Justice is seeking an emergency injunction against California over 20,000 "likely noncitizen" people on the state's voter rolls.
U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Dept. requested that California segregate any ballots from those registered voters in order to preserve election integrity.
'We filed an emergency court action against California seeking to ensure that noncitizens who received ballots in California do NOT vote in the upcoming election.'
The administration filed the lawsuit after Californian officials denied the request.
"This is of serious concern because California automatically mails ballots to every active registered voter on its voter rolls, whether a voter has requested a mail ballot or not," Blanche said in a post on social media.
"California has refused to comply and intends to facilitate noncitizens in voting, which is a violation of federal law," he added. "So, today we filed an emergency court action against California seeking to ensure that noncitizens who received ballots in California do NOT vote in the upcoming election."
California Secretary of State Shirley Weber responded she had "serious doubts" about the accuracy of the allegations and requested information about "the underlying data and methodology" so that her office could analyze the "vague and unsubstantiated allegations" from the Department of Homeland Security.
She went on to claim that a similar effort in Nevada did not find one noncitizen among a list of 16,000 likely noncitizen voters provided by DHS.
"If the federal government possesses proof that certain registered voters in California are ineligible, we will welcome the opportunity to review that evidence and any supporting data or methodology," she added.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta also criticized the administration's demands.
"Mail ballots are already in most voters’ hands, and Election Day is less than three weeks away," he posted in a statement on social media.
"Every count, recount, hand count, lawsuit, and audit has found that there's no widespread voter fraud in the U.S.," he added. "The Trump Admin’s last-minute demands are meritless, and we look forward to making our case in court."

California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, expressed outrage over the lawsuit in a statement on social media.
"This is a sad, desperate attempt by Trump to use his politicized Justice Department to try to suppress California voters just three weeks before Election Day," he posted.
"Courts have made clear the federal government has no role in running state elections," he added. "We will defend free and fair elections in the Golden State and call out every authoritarian attempt to undermine our democracy."
Voters in California will decide the state's next governor in the November election, as well as the fate of 14 propositions. Some key congressional races will also help determine which party controls Congress.
"Election integrity is a top priority for Americans and the Justice Department," Blanche concluded.

The military coalition led by Saudi Arabia said on Thursday it intercepted a cruise missile over the province of Medina, which contains the second-holiest city in the Muslim religion. The coalition also released more footage of Houthi missile strikes against civilian airports in Saudi Arabia, a practice the Houthis said they had no intention of discontinuing despite mounting condemnations from across the Middle East.

The most popular podcaster in the world weighed in on the bitter debate over a joke about women dressing like "whores" at the gym.
Shane Gillis talked about his experience going to the gym in New York City during his monologue for his third time hosting "Saturday Night Live."
'I have no problem with women dressing like that. Have fun. God bless you. If you have a great body, especially, show it off to the world. Who cares?'
"I haven't been to the gym in so long, I didn't know women just dress like whores now? Look, I'm sorry. There's no other way to describe it," Gillis said.
"Have you seen it? I've seen it. The shorts. Have you seen the shorts?" he added. "Those neon, they're like artificial bait-colored. And the wrinkles go around the cheeks, and all combine at the butthole. And don't look. You're not allowed to look. For real, don't look because they are filming. I'm in the background of like 10 TikToks right now."
Many on the left were outraged at the joke they said was misogynistic. Among those was comedic actor Dan Levy, who said in a video on Instagram that the joke would lead to more sexual assaults against women.
Joe Rogan defended Gillis, who is his friend and has appeared on Rogan's podcast numerous times, on the Thursday episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience."
First, he pointed out that the subject of the joke was Gillis himself, not the women at the gym.
"The joke is on Shane, 'cause the joke is that he looks like a creep in the background of all these TikToks, watching these ladies that are wearing nothing doing these exercises," Rogan said.
"I've seen ladies at the gym that wear essentially sheer pink, really small shorts with no underwear on, and they're doing deadlifts. And when they're bending over, they're sticking their vagina with the thinnest of cloth out into the air!" he added.
"Oh, I knew one of them was pregnant before she did. I'd say you're about six weeks!" digital content creator Cody Tucker joked.
Rogan offered a serious defense of the joke and his friend.
"Real misogyny actually exists. ... Real men who hate women do exist," he said. "And so, when you see a guy joking around about a woman dressing like a whore, you connect it to horrible thoughts, like horrible actions. Real, actual evil men that — 'cause there's a lot of men that genuinely hate women. Shane Gillis is not one of them. And he's a great guy. It's just a joke."

He went on to say that he didn't care what women wore to the gym.
"I have no problem with women dressing like that. Have fun. God bless you. If you have a great body, especially, show it off to the world. Who cares?"
Spotify reportedly renewed its contract with Rogan, worth an estimated $250 million. His show is the top podcast in Spotify's chart, with over 18 million followers. He has another 21.1 million followers on his YouTube channel.
