Dec 8, 2024, 03:22 AM
China has introduced a new spherical police robot, reportedly developed by Zhejiang University, designed to enhance urban security. This robot, known as the RT-G, can operate autonomously and is capable of reaching speeds of 35 km/h (approximately 22 mph). Equipped with artificial intelligence, the robot is intended to assist police forces in both reconnaissance and active crime-fighting missions. It can pursue criminals and is said to feature a net-launching mechanism, although its handcuffing capabilities remain uncertain. The deployment of these robots is part of a broader initiative to integrate advanced technology into law enforcement, with reports indicating that they are being used alongside traditional police officers in places like Wenzhou, Zhejiang province.
