China has deployed life-sized AI-powered 'robocops' to police roads and direct traffic around the clock.
Wearing reflective vests and white caps, the humanoid officers have been spotted patrolling Wuhu City, in eastern China's Anhui Province, barking orders at civilians.
'For your safety, please ride bicycles in the non-motorized lane,' one robot was heard calling out to a cyclist who veered into traffic.
The robots' futuristic appearance has made them local celebrities, with pedestrians frequently pausing to snap photos.
Traffic police officer Jiang Zihao described the machines as 'new colleagues' capable of assisting officers on the streets.
According to Jiang, the AI-enabled robot - known as Intelligent Police Unit R001 - is linked to the city's traffic signal system and can perform traffic-control gestures in sync with changing lights.
Equipped with high-definition cameras and an intelligent voice-broadcasting system, the robot uses advanced algorithms to automatically detect traffic violations by pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles and deliver on-the-spot warnings.
Beyond fixed post duties, the robot is fully mobile, able to autonomously travel to designated locations on command.
It can also identify illegal parking and conduct real-time road monitoring.
'The robot can work around the clock,' Jiang said, noting that it is expected to ease the workload of the police, especially during peak hours or in extreme weather conditions.
This 'RoboCop' is only the latest addition to China's expanding fleet of AI-powered traffic assistants.
Last year, several Chinese cities began integrating robotic officers into daily policing.
In June, the southwestern city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province deployed a team of robot police officers, including quadruped robots, wheeled robots and humanoid robots, to patrol the streets alongside human counterparts.
The deployment of these robots highlights China's broader effort to integrate embodied intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies into real-world applications.

Do that in a US city and it will destroyed in 10 minutes.
What happens if a protester runs it down? Does it shoot or just go directly to Terminator?
File this under “what could go wrong?”
Whoa, she’s hot. Hey, Laz!!
A can of spray paint to its face may work.
Labor shortage in China must be bad.
It’s Wuhu City. Things must be kinda wild there. Next up: Yeehaw City.
I wanna see her naked Barbie parts
That would be lobocops.
What’s really funny to me is the Chicoms using robots when they have the most humans in the world.
Get 1k of those. Arm them with pepper spray machine guns and let them loose in Minneapolis.
Some .308 black tip should solve this issue.
I’d interface with it.
