Robocop in China

When a two-meter height and imposing appearance, this Chinese robot look dark and even menacing, a rare criminal would agree to meet this humanoid machine.


Reportedly, the car has received the name of the movie RoboCop, but actually it's not a robot, and a stationary statue, several of these machines installed in the Chinese city of Kunming. In the head "Robocop" mounted camera connected to the police monitoring system for underground cable. In addition to monitoring functions, the machine offers another opportunity, on the chest of the statue is a button to call the number 110 (as in China call the police and rescue service), after pressing this button, "Robocop" takes the sound and light signals.


Representatives of the police Department of Kunming reported that from the time when the Robo-cops are started to perform their duties, the level of crime in adjacent areas fell by 68.8 percent, which is not so little. At least none of the "live" COP of today can not boast of such indicators.


The cost of each robot COP makes around 20 million yuan ($3170). But these high sentinels menacing relieve the police Department from having to keep a live police observer in the case of what can fall under the "distribution". And, if the robot suddenly "sees" the situation requiring immediate police intervention, then the nearest police station, in a very short time, on the place could arrive, a special rapid response team.
