Dear MEL Topic Readers,

On patrol with a real-life Robocop

An R2D2-look-like robot is now circuiting around a park in Sothern Los Angeles. With 360-degree video cameras, the AI-powered K5 Robocop detects criminal, offensive, or destructive activities such as fights or vandalism and notifies the police. Also, anyone who needs police assistance can push a button in the head to contact a police officer. However, it isn’t designed to chase or arrest a criminal or engage in a fight. Instead, it observes and reports to intervene or intercept any type of abnormalities. The police reported 50% fewer crimes have been reported and 30% more arrests have been made since the debut of the Robocop. It surely seems to have some effects on making the park a safer place. Since it has neither arms nor weapons, this police robot cannot protect itself. So, when it is attacked, it has to call the police for help!

Enjoy watching the video and think if this $75,000 robot makes your place safer.
