Boston Dynamics' 'Spot' robotic dog deployed in Singapore to remind people to keep a safe distance

Boston Dynamics' robotic dog, Spot, is roving Singapore parks in an effort to remind pedestrians to remain a safe distance from one another. According to a statement from the country's National Parks Board, Spot will traverse a 4-mile swath of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park during off-peak hours while playing a recorded message that reminds park-goers'observe safe distancing measures.' The bot will also be fitted with cameras that are'enabled with... video analytics' which will be used to estimate the number of people in the park. According to a statement, the cameras will not track or record specific individuals, and no personal data will be collected. MailOnline has reached out to Singapore's Government Technology Agency to find out more about the video analytics system equipped to the bot and will update with further information.
