8 Jul
Summary
- Robot dogs with cameras patrol stadiums at high speeds.
- These advanced units assist in crime prevention and crowd control.
- They are also used to assess dangerous situations before officers enter.
Robot dogs equipped with video cameras are being utilized by police departments, notably seen patrolling Estadio BBVA during a World Cup match. These advanced K9-X units, made in China, were introduced in February by the Guadalupe police department to aid in crime prevention, monitor dangerous situations, and assist with crowd control.
With capabilities like facial recognition and behavioral analysis, these robots can detect agitated groups and send video feeds to a command center for assessment. They also play a crucial role in officer safety, allowing police to analyze potentially armed suspect situations remotely. The World Cup provided a platform to showcase this technology to the public.
Onlookers expressed curiosity and generally positive reactions to the robot dogs, with some fans noting their potential benefit to society and improved security. The technology aims to prevent conflict and adapt for daily use, enhancing overall public safety for citizens and foreigners alike.
