Makers of RoboCop may not have expected that the 1990s Hollywood action film franchise would come alive decades later, but China now reportedly has a humanoid robot walking alongside police on patrols. Footage of the robot shared from Shenzhen industrial city this week showed the robot strolling confidently in front of what appeared to be two uniformed policemen (video below). This could be the future of policing in the world, as many countries have already introduced robotics in areas such as threat detection, defusing explosives, patrolling and surveillance.
China’s ‘Terminator’ cop
The AI-powered RoboCop, whose gait appeared similar to the villain in Arnold Schwarzenegger starrer Terminator 2: Judgement Day, is in fact a machine named EngineAI T800 or a smaller version of it, possibly the PM01 model.
As a social media user observed, it “casually joined police patrol like it’s 2049 already.”
“It looks like a jacked metal soldier ready to arrest your grandma for walking too slowly,” the user added for good measure.
The ‘patrol’ took place in a park known as Window of the World, a major tourist spot in the industrial city.
It was reportedly a demonstration, days after the T800’s official launch in early December. The robot is fast entering into real-world testing and can have applications including in public safety.
