NewYork City has unveiled two crime-fighting robots designed to assist human officers, but not everyone is happy about the move.
New York City on Tuesday unveiled several crime-fighting robots designed to assist human police officers.
Related The Digidogs can be deployed in situations deemed too dangerous for human officers to enter. In a bomb threat incident, for example, a camera-equipped Digidog would be able to get close to the scene and live stream images that could be helpful for forming a plan of action. The NYPD is spending $12,250 on the deployment of K5, which will work alongside a human officer. But don’t expect the robot to chase down fleeing suspects as it only has a top speed of 3 mph and can’t handle stairs.
