Classification of cop robots:

HUMANOID ROBOT
Dubai Police have revealed their first robot officer, giving it the task of patrolling the city's malls
and tourist attractions. People will be able to use it to report crimes, pay fines and get
information by tapping a touchscreen on its chest. Data collected by the robot will also be shared
with the transport and traffic authorities. The government said the aim was for 25% of the force
to be robotic by 2030 but they would not replace humans.

DIGIDOG
The New York Police Department has been testing Digidog, which it says can be deployed in
dangerous situations and keep officers safer, but some fear it could become an aggressive
surveillance tool.
NORTHROP GRUMMAN REMOTEC
Northrop Grumman Remotec’s Andros series of camera-equipped robots are designed for an
array of public safety purposes. The various models can maneuver in tight spaces, climb stairs,
lift objects, speed across rough terrain and even use weapons.

RECONROBOTICS
Recon’s ThrowBot 2 Robot is designed to do just what its name suggests: be thrown. Not only
that, it’s supposedly capable of being dropped repeatedly onto concrete from up to 30 feet, can
capture and transmit audio and video in real time, crawl over different types of terrain, clear
obstacles and lug payloads of up to four pounds. 
ENDEAVOR ROBOTICS
Endeavor’s series of products for police and military use includes the throw able and expandable
first Look. It can be used for exploring and observing danger zones; the portable and night-
vision-equipped SUGV that can carry a human, climb stairs and manipulate objects for mobile
operations; the Packbot for bomb disposal and surveillance as well as hazardous materials
handling; and the mobile Kobra that carries up to 330 pounds and extends to heights of up to 11
feet.

KNIGHTSCOPE 
Knightscope’s series of stationary and roving sentinel robots monitor entrances and exits of
buildings and venues. They can understand human language in a variety of environments, self-
charge, run around the clock and work in large areas that include corporate campuses and
hospitals. The company’s newest model, K7, is still in development and will reportedly be
suitable for campuses, power utility substations and solar and wind farms. 
SMP ROBOTICS
SMP makes security robots (known as its S5 series) that are equipped with high-definition
cameras, long-range loudspeakers, autonomous vehicle control systems and AI-powered thermal
and panoramic surveillance capabilities. Images are transmitted via 4G or WiFi.

COBALT ROBOTICS
Cobalt’s robots are autonomous patrol vehicles that can detect possible risks (human or
otherwise), clear false alarms and alert response specialists to potential dangers. They even
transmit data-rich status and incident reports on a regular basis.
