The aim of this study is to constitute an analytical framework to comprehend the effects of robot technology on public safety in the spatial context of the 21st century. Beyond examining the superhuman abilities achieved through technological developments, in this analysis, an effort has been made to evaluate the effects of the usage of robots on public policy actors with multiple streams theory in a balanced discussion. In the study, the research question has been ‘Is the discussion of the legitimacy of robot technology in public safety affected by space?’. The scope of the role of autonomy in public safety, the responsibilities of robots towards people in the same ecosystem and their effects on human rights, the spatial differences of robot usage, and anti-robot debates. The legal, ethical, and social implications of using fully autonomous and semi-autonomous robots have been discussed in this context. Afterward, the problematic areas in which the discussions are concentrated on the use of robots in public safety have been made meaningful and clear. The diversification of the debates in association with the spatial and the fact that fully autonomous robots herald major changes in public policies bring the 'spatiality of autonomy' approach with it.
