Robots begin duty as policemen in Dubai

The “world’s first operational Robocop” started
its tour of duty Sunday in Dubai, the first in the
emirate’s planned robot police force, according
to the Daily Mirror.

The Robocop, five feet five inches tall and
weighing 220 pounds, speaks six languages
and reads facial expressions.

“He can chat and interact, respond to public
queries, shake hands and offer a military
salute,” Brigadier-General Khalid Nasser Al
Razzouqi, Director-General of Smart Services
with the Dubai Police told the Mirror.

Residents can use the Robocop to pay fines or
report crimes, and it also can transmit and
receive messages from police headquarters.

The launch “is a significant milestone for the
Emirate and a step towards realizing Dubai’s
vision to be a global leader in smart cities
technology adoption,” Al Razzouqi said.

“With an aim to assist and help people in the
malls or on the streets, the Robocop is the
latest smart addition to the force and has been
designed to help us fight crime, keep the city
safe and improve happiness levels,” he added.

Dubai appears to be bracing up for the 2022
FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Qatar, the first
to be held in the middle east and in an Arab
and a majority-Muslim country.
