China Unveils Autonomous Spherical Drones for Police Patrols

Brief news summary

In China, futuristic spherical drones are being used alongside law enforcement, captured in a video showing one patrolling Zhejiang University in Hangzhou accompanied by officers. These RT-G autonomous robots, developed by Logon Technology, are seen as "technological breakthroughs" designed to assist or even replace humans in dangerous scenarios. Capable of operating on both land and water, the robots can reach speeds of up to 35 km/h (22 mph) and endure impacts up to 8,818 pounds. Equipped with advanced AI and facial recognition technology, they can identify and apprehend criminals, enhancing policing capacities in China. This reflects a broader trend of integrating advanced technology into traditional law enforcement methods to boost public safety. Similarly, New York City has deployed robotic dogs to assist the NYPD in high-risk situations, prioritizing transparency and collaboration with the community in their utilization.

Footage from China’s streets looked like a scene from a science fiction novel, showing spherical drones patrolling with police officers. Chinese robotics company Logon Technology introduced the RT-G autonomous spherical robot, calling it a "technological breakthrough" meant to aid or even replace humans in risky environments. These spherical robots can operate on both land and water, reaching speeds of up to 35 km/h (about 22 mph) and withstanding impacts of up to 8, 818 pounds (4 tons), according to the company. In a video shared by TikTok user @di. q60, a large spherical robocop was filmed patrolling Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, alongside four officers amidst the busy streets of Hangzhou, a city with nearly 12 million residents. The robocop’s imposing presence is enhanced by its advanced technological features.

Logon Technology says these robots are powered by cutting-edge AI, aiding law enforcement by identifying and immobilizing criminals using advanced AI and facial recognition technology. China's deployment of robots indicates a trend of integrating technology with traditional policing to boost public safety. Meanwhile, in the U. S. , New York Mayor Eric Adams introduced robotic dogs in April 2023. NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell stated the public will be assured that these technologies will be used transparently, consistently, and always in collaboration with the community. The robotic dogs aim to support the NYPD in investigating high-risk or dangerous situations.
