The robot weighs 32 kilos and is operated by remote control. They will work when it is dangerous for humans to intervene, for example, in a hostage situation.
“This is the second attempt by the city of NY to incorporate this type of robot into the Police service, after the one he sponsored two and a half years ago under the former mayor of the city, Bill de Blasio. that initiative was cast aside quickly, after public opinion described it as ‘terrifying’ and ‘apocalyptic’ and its first presence was branded as an attempt to militarize the Police”, brings Rt.
Now, the robot dogs, shown by police to the press in Times Square, have a GPS tracker for stolen cars and a cone-shaped security robot.
The criticism comes from social organizations, which see the measure as bad. Albert Fox Cahn, head of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, denounced that “the NYPD is turning bad science fiction into terrifying law enforcement. New York deserves real security, not imitation of RoboCop“.
