Before the robot was disabled, the pictures gave the police an accurate layout of the room showing positions of cover and concealment, furniture, entrances, exit paths, windows, etc. The pictures showed what kind of weapon he had, whether he was wearing body armor, a gas mask, etc. The video also showed whether or not he had a hostage or an accomplice.
It makes since in that context. The surveillance information garnered from the robot allowed the officers to respond in the safest manner possible. That didn't come across clearly to me in the news article. I suspected large parts were left out in favor of the news-worthy angle of the man being naked and the robot being used.

After he shot the robot inside his house, they had a naked man with an AK47 and a broken and disabled robot with a $65,000 price tag. I don't understand how the robot saved someone's life and allowed them to safely apprehend him.
