A cutting-edge police robot has made its mark by assisting in the capture of 14 suspects at various events in Thailand. The AI-powered Police Cyborg 1.0, equipped with advanced facial recognition technology, was lauded by the National Police Chief for its role in enhancing public safety.

 

Unveiled at the Songkran Festival in Nakhon Pathom, the robot demonstrated its ability to identify attendees with outstanding arrest warrants. It successfully led to the apprehension of 14 individuals during its deployment. The Police Cyborg 1.0 works by integrating existing CCTV and drone footage to offer a comprehensive surveillance solution.

 

The robot's AI capabilities include recognising faces on a blacklist, tracking suspicious individuals, and identifying weapons and potential violent behaviour. Notably, it has proven effective at events like cockfighting derbies and local markets, leading to several arrests in connection with drug offences, theft, and other criminal activities.

Police Chief Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphet expressed his delight at the innovation, noting its potential to reduce crime and threat levels significantly. The robot serves as a valuable tool by maintaining public safety without the need for extensive officer deployment.

 

He further emphasised that the success of this AI innovation paves the way for broader implementation, with the potential to serve as a model for other regions. As the technology continues to evolve, it promises to offer substantial support in crime prevention and community policing.
