Anki Cozmo [1] looks cool. Does anyone have any other suggestion about a programmable robot with wheels and a camera, either more "bare bones" (and cheaper) or one that has some extra features, like a arm that can grab stuff?
1. Build a DonkeyCar http://donkeycar.com -- you'll end up buying a servo controller board which you can use your pi to control any servos including those of a cheap robo arm.
2. Buy a Misty https://www.mistyrobotics.com -- more expensive but a very powerful personal robot computing platform
It looks cool, but only available in the US again :(
And they dont even allow orders to freight forwarder addresses or resellers, what is up with that?

The Misty seems like it could patrol the interiors, not good enough yet but we're getting there.
Knightscope should start selling here: https://www.knightscope.com/
But a movable webcam with some other capabilities (audio probably) might be a better deterrent.
It's more expensive though.
