Dubai wants to develop a police robot team, which will apply in 2020

Not only will it host its own robotics competition in 2017, but Dubai will now also want to build a police squad like Robocop, which is scheduled to come online in 2020.

Speaking at a technology briefing earlier this week, the Dubai police chief announced plans to develop a robot team and use it as a law enforcement force. "Robots can handle a number of police officers' specific tasks," said Khalid Razooqi, director of intelligence at the Dubai Police Department. "We are working on such a project and will be ready. Works on Expo 2020 exhibition.

Robots can undertake specific work of police officers.

Razooqi adds that the robots police will assume responsibility for interacting with the people and doing some of the work that is often done by police officers. However, this is not the first time the Dubai police force has used high technology to equip its executive forces. Two years ago, police officers began using Google Glass to record criminal activity and accidents. They have also released a mobile application that allows people to actively send offense videos to the police.

In fact, Dubai has demonstrated its prototype police robot for the first time at the Gitex technology conference in late October. However, the recorded video has not yet revealed its capabilities. The work of the robot except that it is an ordinary robot identity. Razooqi said that they are prepared to choose the robot development company and the final product will be very different from the prototype launched before.

Once the robots are fully developed, the Dubai police agency will continue to focus on the development and integration of artificial intelligence technology . Dubai police have previously worked with Google and IBM Watson to develop AI technology for their smart services. But Dubai is not the first place to use robots as police, but in 2014, some areas in California have used surveillance robot developed by Knightscope, however Dubai claims that robots They will be sophisticated and do more.
