Dubai’s first ‘Robocop’ begins patrolling streets
The world’s first robot policeman has officially joined Dubai’s police force. While it’s not exactly the Robocop from the movie, officers in the United Arab Emirates may want to get used to them, as the bots may soon account for a quarter of their colleagues.
The autonomous Robocop entered the line of duty on Sunday by greeting guests and patrolling the halls at the three-day Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference (GISEC). Plans are in place to have the machine on the streets in popular Dubai areas when the expo ends on Tuesday evening.
Standing at a height of 5 feet, 5 inches (1.7 meters) and weighing in at 220lbs (100kg), the Robocop can read a person’s facial expressions and react accordingly in six languages. It can also transmit and receive messages from police, and has a built-in tablet that can be used to pay fines and report crimes.
“The launch of the world’s first operational Robocop 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,” said Brigadier-General Razzouqi.
“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,” said Brigadier-General Khalid Nasser Al Razzouqi, Director-General of Smart Services with the Dubai Police.

Robocop co-founder lady is already talking about meeting up with 'mayors' [see post; video]

No question about it the Robocop era hath begun. Just weeks ago it was the NY - Massachusetts announcement ['related to' above 4-27-17] of the first ever USA Robocops, pictured above, being rolled out in 16 cities. Basically nondescript in appearance though. But here now in less than a month, Dubai is already taking the global Robocop-agenda to the next level. And that level is a huge leap forward actually, namely humanoid looking bots. Not hard to tell where this is going.
Note also the Dubai humanoids are equipped to receive payment for fines on the spot. How telling is that? Shaken down by a Robocop for a purported infraction? It does not get much more Big Brother than that.
Robo-policing is an integral part of the "smart cities" plan, say they. That plan is the same for every city on the planet [link]. Know all about it.
