98Z5V Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Yep, you read that right... World's 1st Robocop to begin duty in Dubai http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/05/22/worlds-1st-robocop-to-begin-duty-in-dubai.html The “world’s first operational Robocop” started its tour of duty Sunday in Dubai – the first in the emirate’s planned robot police force, according to the Daily Mirror. The Robocop, five feet five inches tall and weighing 220 pounds, speaks six languages and reads facial expressions. “He can chat and interact, respond to public queries, shake hands and offer a military salute,” Brigadier-General Khalid Nasser Al Razzouqi, Director-General of Smart Services with the Dubai Police told the Mirror. Residents can use the Robocop to pay fines or report crimes, and it also can transmit and receive messages from police headquarters. The launch “is a significant milestone for the Emirate and a step towards realizing Dubai’s vision to be a global leader in smart cities technology adoption,” Al Razzouqi said. “With an aim to assist and help people in the malls or on the streets, the Robocop is the latest smart addition to the force and has been designed to help us fight crime, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels,” he added.

mineralman55 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Didn't version 1.0 of Robocop "accidentally" kill a board member in a botched demonstration of its capabilities? Good idea to get it de-bugged there. Then again, maybe it should be field tested in Michiganistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
