It's creepy, is not it, the feeling of encountering a robot police officer with black eyes and an unobtrusive mouth that can detect and collect evidence?

We can say that it gets even more frightening when integrated with this spooky robot police hat. A new technology product, this robot was introduced in Burj Khalifa, the world's largest building in Dubai, about a year ago.



The question is, what did this robot have been doing since then? Or is it just a product made to show that Dubai uses state-of-the-art technology?

PAL Robotics, a manufacturer company, emphasized the role of the tourist guide rather than the role of police officer.

"The robot has joined the Dubai police to help citizens innovatively and engagingly, and now it is placed in tourist locations and shopping centers," Roboton's current software can provide useful information on many levels, citizens can communicate with the Dubai Police Call Center using microphones integrated into the robots, and people can use other police-related services, such as paying traffic fines. " said.

The Dubai government wants the robot police to make up 25% of the force by 2030. In an interview with a member of the Dubai police headquarters, "Such robots can work 24/7, do not want permission, sick leave or maternity leave. said.

In China, where the world's largest camera surveillance network is located, robots are now available at many train stations and airports.




E-Patrol Robot Sheriff, who does not have a very good name, works at the Zhengzhou East Railway Station in Henan province. The robot is equipped with a range of cameras and, according to reports, has built-in sensors to detect a small fire. In addition, Mashable can track, track, and recognize hundreds of potential criminals or suspicious people.


AnBot is at the Airport


Another urban robot, AnBot, was deployed last year at Shenzhen International Airport and has four built-in cameras for security checks. According to China's People's Daily newspaper, it was welcomed by some sections of the people to be referred to as "an electric bulwark of insurgency control".


These robots will continue to enter our lives as the days pass. Who knows, maybe someday there will be no work for people on any platform.
