SINGAPORE - A four-legged robot will be patrolling Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park to remind people of safe distancing measures starting from Friday (May 8).
Called Spot, the robot will assist with safe distancing efforts at parks, gardens and nature reserves managed by National Parks Board (NParks) and at parks managed by town councils.
The pilot trial is jointly conducted by NParks, and the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group (SNDGG).
The Spot robot will broadcast a recorded message reminding park visitors to observe safe distancing measures.
It is fitted with cameras, enabled by GovTech-developed video analytics, to help it estimate the number of visitors in the parks.
The cameras, however, will not be able to track or recognise specific individuals, neither will it collect any personal data.
As part of the two-week trial, Spot will be deployed over a 3km stretch in the River Plains section of the park during off-peak hours, and it will be accompanied by at least one NParks officer.
If the trial proves successful, NParks will consider deploying Spot for safe distancing efforts at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park in the morning and during evening peak-hours.
NParks is also looking into deploying the robot at other parks such as Jurong Lake Gardens.
Originally developed by American company Boston Dynamics, the four-legged robot is able to navigate obstacles more effectively compared to wheeled robots, making it suitable for different terrains.
It is also fitted with safety sensors to detect objects and people within 1m to avoid collision.

In a typical US city, I don’t think something like that would last a day without being vandalized or stolen.
Lol
All elements of the future total surveillance state are coming together. Apps to track you. Cameras to watch where you go, where you are. No cash. What your food choices are. When it turns malevolent as John foresaw, it will come down to making a choice between aquiescent cowardice or being stripped of your rights, your means of sustenance and income. And finally your life. The warning is there. The sheeple are hell bent on going off the cliff though
