Life in Chinese cities continues to imitate dystopian art with further technological advances that replicate sci-fi movies.
First it was the social credit system, which appeared to be a rip-off of an episode of Netflix’s Black Mirror, in which citizens use an app to rate people they encounter in their daily lives on a scale of one to five. The result being that if one’s rating dropped to as low as 2 out of 5, certain rights would be diminished, such as the ability to buy a train or plane ticket. What began as a science fiction tale became reality in some Chinese cities.
The same could be said of China’s latest electronic innovation: a new rolling spherical robot that promises to identify and neutralise criminals. The device, called RT-G, is in the hands of the Chinese police to patrol the streets with officers and is able to pursue criminals thanks to its fast-acting, flexible movements.
Dystopian Chinese robot to patrol and chase suspects
The RT-G reaches a maximum speed of 30 kilometres per hour in just 2.5 seconds, weighs more than 100 kilos, is stable thanks to its self-balancing design, can move through land and water, incorporates a spherical housing capable of protecting itself from bullets and other projectiles, and can be equipped with a variety of accessories such as sprays, smoke bombs, and capture nets. It can also incorporate cameras, advanced control algorithms to adapt the routes in real time, and GPS sensors.
Seemingly inspired by the robot character BB-8 from the Star Wars series of movies, the spherical robot has a fast rotary movement, rolls in any direction required, does not need additional stabilisers, has a battery that allows it to operate continuously for ten hours, works at temperatures from as low as -30ºC, and withstands falls of up to one metre without suffering any damage.
The mission of this robot is to fulfil tasks such as patrolling dangerous communities, popular tourist areas, rivers, and lakes, and performing emergency rescues. However, for the moment, RT-G has only been deployed in the city of Wenzhou (China) for trials.
Maybe they can be hacked to go after police.
China just deployed their own version of a security sphere.

“You have five seconds to compry.”
Clapping!!
For those not metric savvy, 30 kilometres per hour is 18.64 miles per hour. A fit runner is only able to run at a max of 14 miles per hour. These street criminals won't know what hit them.
Were I Chinese, I would fear the black clad imperial storm troopers more than the robot cop.
It might have a difficult time with stairs.
the social rating app on everyone’s phone was a Star Trek episode, everyone got to vote on criminal cases.
Elevate! Elevate!
I wonder if those Chinese female cops know Kung fu ?
Round rubber tire. Throw down oil and it ain’t goin no where!
Nice robot 🤖🤖🤖 dog 🐕🐕🐕 🐕 n the left
Hmm. The robot dogs could be upgraded and upsized to be giant drone winged horses with human heads and scorpion tails . . .
See Revelation 9: 7-10 - - - -
” . . . 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: . . .”
Probably will eventually be Police drones locally in some areas on patrol 🚓🚓🚓
That would be my expectation
Nice robot 🤖🤖🤖 dog 🐕🐕🐕 🐕 ON the left
Darn small phone 📱 screen LOL 🤣
