Hyderabad: 'Robocop' takes charge today

Hyderabad: A smart police robot that can recognise people, take complaints, detect bombs, identify suspects, interact with people and answer their queries will be launched here on Friday. This world's first smart police robot, a beta version, was manufactured by H-Bot Robotics, a city-based startup. H-Bot had announced the manufacture of world's second humanoid robot cop in July and the designs were also finalised. The first robot cop was made in France and deployed in Dubai. During the process of making the humanoid, the makers conceived the idea of a smart police robot, with additional facilities based on artificial intelligence and machine learning and built indigenously.
