Meet China’s Real-Life RoboCop: Unstoppable Police Robot on Patrol
China has unveiled an advanced robotic police unit equipped with artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology.
These autonomous spherical robots, developed by Logon Technology, can patrol at speeds up to 22 mph and assist human officers in tasks like identifying and immobilizing suspects.
The robots are designed to operate in challenging environments, including both land and water, and can handle significant physical impacts.
They were recently deployed in Zhejiang University and other parts of Hangzhou to support law enforcement efforts.
While hailed as a technological breakthrough, these robots have raised concerns about privacy and potential misuse of their advanced capabilities.
Critics worry about their ability to enforce commands without human judgment, posing ethical and regulatory challenges for their use.
