A California police department has deployed a “RoboCop” to aid the force in patrolling public areas, the city wrote in a news release.
The autonomous data machine, which the city of Huntington Park officially introduced Tuesday, is “meant to serve outdoors” and has 360-degree video footage. The device is intended to “act as an extra set of eyes” in places like parks, city buildings and other areas police don’t have time to consistently monitor, according to the release.
The city hopes the RoboCop, which has already been patrolling for several weeks, will serve as a deterrent to crime and disruptive activity.
A video released by the city shows the RoboCop rolling down a park sidewalk while making noise before saying, “Good day to you.”
