The amazing progress of the field of robotics has made us see the replacement of policemen with a cute robot in America; But what can this robot do in the field of crime?
It is no secret that robots will play a prominent role in the future. Many even imagine that they will become an integral part of human life. Amazing achievements in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence also strengthen this prediction. Now we see the use of an independent robot that wants to replace the police forces.
This robot will confuse criminals as an alternative to the police
The authorities of the American city of Atlanta have decided to use a robot to secure the Old Fourth Ward area. Apparently, during the last seven months, the amount of crimes in this area has increased dramatically. Also, local people often notice that the streets of this area are full of bullet pumice. Terrible noises heard during the night also make the residents not dare to leave their homes. In addition to all this, the problem of lack of police forces should also be mentioned.
The Atlanta Police Department has reported that 34 different crimes including murder, kidnapping, rape and physical assault have been reported in the area over the past 7 months. All these things have made the idea of using a robot as a substitute for the police feasible. Atlanta City Council member Amir Farrokhi said that the Old Fourth Ward is a lively, developing and attractive area. However, recent crimes have caused the situation to change. He hopes to return to the past with the independent Knightscope robot.
The new robot does not require human intervention and reports suspicious cases to the police in real time. Stacey Stephens, the CEO of the Knightscope robot manufacturer, also emphasized that their product cannot completely replace the police. Because it does not do anything special in the field of arresting criminals and is not looking for a specific person. Instead, this robot carefully evaluates the conditions of the area and transmits reports of strange cases.
For example, the robot realizes that the level of activity of people at a certain time of the day and night in an apartment or street is not normal. The police replacement robot is almost two meters tall and weighs 190 kilograms and will patrol the city’s streets. Police officials have emphasized that this robot will not spy on citizens and will not collect their personal information. However, if a person leaves his house, he can have the feeling that all the streets and places are equipped with CCTV cameras.
Of course, Amir Farrokhi admits that the use of robots as a substitute for the police can be worrying for some people, but we must not forget that a new era is beginning. Looking at the scientific news, we can see that various companies have been able to provide attractive robots for use in rescue missions, bomb disposal operations, monitoring important places and disaster management.
Also, for a long time, robots have been present in places that are very dangerous for humans; Therefore, the presence of the Knightscope robot as a replacement for police forces is not so strange and is considered along the same path. Currently, the manufacturing company has announced that this robot will be used on a trial basis for a few weeks, and then it will be widely used.
At this point, police forces are using the robot’s data as an additional source of information and have not reduced their patrols. People living in this area are apparently happy with the presence of the new robot. They believe that security is their priority and this robot will not negatively affect their security.
