Dubai Police have revealed their first robot officer, giving it the task of patrolling the city’s malls and tourist attractions.The robot, a customised Reem model from Pal Robotics, was unveiled at the Gulf Information and Security Expo and Conference on Sunday.
Director General of smart services at Dubai Police, Brig Khalid Al Razooqi, said, people will be able to use it to report crimes, pay fines and get information by tapping a touchscreen on its chest. He said the robot can protect people from crime because it can broadcast what is happening right away to our command and control centre.
At present it can communicate only in Arabic and English, but there are plans to add Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish to its repertoire.
