China deploys Robocops with facial recognition

2019-08-09 11

HANDAN, CHINA - Handan police officials took to Weibo on Wednesday to share three new members to China's traffic police.

The three first-of-their-kind robocops each have their own specialty, with one patrolling, another in traffic accidents and the last, providing information.

What can a Patrolling robot do?

These are equipped with automatic navigation and can lock onto a car's plates and snap pictures of vehicles. And if you're thinking of jaywalking, forget it! This guy will give you a warning.
What about the traffic bot?

These data-filled fellas help answer questions at the vehicle-managing bureaus when prompted by querying members of the public.

And what about those accident robots?

Well, as the name suggests, they're trusted to keep order at the site of a traffic accident.

Engineers have installed facial recognition software on all of them, and if that wasn't scary enough, they've added in physical attributes too!

These bots can take down perps in the event of an emergency.
