How To Survive A Robot Uprising

I wasn't sure if I was going to blog during the Christmas holidays but a gift from a nephew contains information that must be shared. He gave me an extremely important manual: How To Survive A Robot Uprising.

As I walked about the Boxing Day sales I was aware of the number CCTV cameras. Thankfully, How To Survive A Robot Uprising told me how to fool gait recognition algorithms (pages 104-105). I thought I'd share the basics here:

1. Do not attract attention
   Move with the crowd, move slowly, blend in!
2. Wear clothing to mask your movements
   A trench coat, skirt or cape can make gait recognition more difficult.
3. Exaggerate your walking style
   Change your walking style - hop, skip or put a stone in your shoe!
4. Alter your stride
   Change the length of your stride.
5. Never reveal your intentions through your gait
   If you need to sneak around - walk normally!
   

Hope this helps. Let me know if it saves your life. :-)
