China Unveils 125 kg Spherical Patrol Robot, Reaches 30 km/h in 2.5 Seconds for Police Use in Wenzhou
Dec 14, 2024, 01:47 PM
China has introduced a new spherical patrol robot designed to assist police operations in urban environments. This advanced robot, which weighs 125 kilograms, can accelerate to 30 kilometers per hour in just 2.5 seconds and is capable of operating on both land and water. It was recently observed patrolling alongside police officers in Wenzhou, a city in eastern China, where it has garnered significant online attention. The robot's deployment is part of a broader trend in law enforcement, as various police forces globally, including the Australian Federal Police, are increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and ethical standards in policing. Additionally, Hong Kong police are considering the use of drone patrols equipped with AI for real-time image analysis.
