Dubai to bring ‘Robocop’ police androids to its streets!

Dubai will reportedly introduce police androids to its streets by 2017 as part of its plan to create the most advanced police force in the world.
Posted by: admin , May 12, 2015
  • As it turns out, Robocop might soon be viewed as a documentary!
  • It is reported that Dubai plans to introduce a fleet of police androids to its streets by 2017.
  • The AI-equipped robots will patrol streets, malls and other crowded public spaces, with plans for them to become part of the police force by the end of the decade.
  • At first, the intelligent androids will be equipped with a microphone connected to the Dubai Police call centres, which will enable people to make complaints, ask questions but also have a bit of fun.
  • Nasser Alrazooqui, head of Dubai’s smart unit, says this is an efficient way of providing these kinds of services to an expanding population without hiring more people.
  • These will not be the first ‘Robocop’ officers to patrol streets, as a handful of K5 androids are currently being trialled by Californian creator Knightscope in the San Francisco Bay Area HQ of Mountain View.
  • The K5 androids are said to look like a buffed R2-D2, stand 5-feet tall and weigh approximately 300 pounds.
  • Although they possess heat detectors, laser scanners, GPS and odour detectors, the androids are not armed.
