Robots are set to make up a quarter of Dubai's police by 2030 - and Robocop is the first
The "world's first operational Robocop" has been unveiled in Dubai as part of the emirate's planned robot police force.
Robocop started work on Sunday and is already making a name for itself.
At 5ft 5in tall and weighing 100kg, it can speak six languages and is designed to read facial expressions.
It had an easy start to working life, being unveiled at the three-day long Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference.
But when the Expo draws to a close tomorrow, it will be released into the wider world and tackle real life issues.
The machine has a built-in tablet so people can use it pay fines or report crimes, and can also transmit and receive messages from police headquarters.
Brigadier-General Khalid Nasser Al Razzouqi, Director-General of Smart Services with the Dubai Police said: "The launch of the world’s first operational Robocop is a significant milestone for the Emirate and a step towards realizing Dubai’s vision to be a global leader in smart cities technology adoption.
"With an aim to assist and help people in the malls or on the streets, the Robocop is the latest smart addition to the force and has been designed to help us fight crime, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels.

Wow 1/4 of the entire force?
When will that happen here in the good old USA? We are only talking 13 years from now. Do you remember what you were doing 13 years ago? It was not that long ago.
"You have twenty seconds to comply."
Let me be the first to welcome our robot overlords.
What an underrated classic movie.
The problem with robot cops is they are always programmed to disproportionately target minorities.
Kinda looks like Republicans responding to outrageous leftist allegations: slow, inappropriate and ineffectual.
Oh, and it seems to be controlled with a tablet-like interface screen located on the chest. That would make a pretty good target, I'd guess...
...and once robots reach 10% of the population, look out!
Have them offer excuse after excuse as to why they can never get things done, with promises that, once you build more of them they'll actually DO things the right way, and your comparison will be 100% spot on!
And apparently it will take on the spot payments.
The more things change the more they stay the same. /s/ , a little. Just...
LOL!
