Robocop joins Dubai police to fight real life crime

DUBAI (Reuters) – A robotic policeman which can help identify wanted criminals and collect evidence has joined Dubai’s police force and will patrol busy areas in the city, as part of a government programme aimed at replacing some human crime-fighters with machines.

 

If the “Robocop” experiment is successful, Dubai Police says it wants the unarmed robots to make up 25 percent of its patrolling force by 2030.

 

Clad in the colours of the Dubai Police uniform, the life-size robot, which can shake hands and perform a military salute, is the lighter side of a government plan to use technology to improve services and security ahead of Dubai hosting Expo 2020.

 

“These kind of robots can work 24/7. They won’t ask you for leave, sick leave or maternity leave. It can work around the clock,” said Brigadier Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, director general of the Smart Services Department at Dubai Police.

Whats with the oversized budgie smuggler on this robot that one of the Saudis is eyeing so enviously....

They don't accept bribes and don't break the law..

 

May be another good idea for Thailand to copy

One step forward for the machines,  Another step backwards for humans.
