Robodog
The NYPD technical assistance service boasted of the first successes of its new ward robops. Structurally, it is very similar to the famous Spot from the company Boston Dynamics, but "Digidog" (Digidog), as it was nicknamed, is designed to perform real police work. The robot has been used since October of this year and has already participated in a mission to rescue hostages.
The name " Digidog "is derived from the words" digital "and" dog", which perfectly reflects its essence. This is a tool in the hands of a police officer, as smart as a trained dog. Like an animal, the robot not only performs direct commands, but also independently navigates the terrain, paving a route for itself. The 40 kg car can walk at speeds of up to 5 km / h, climb stairs and move between obstacles. Siropes equipped with cameras and flashlight, it is convenient to send on the exploration of the unknown dark of the room. If someone is there, the police can communicate with them via a two-way communication system. This was the case in October, when an armed suspect barricaded himself in a house in Brooklyn. In another case, two men were holding five hostages in Queens and in the course of negotiations, the police sent him to Simops, loaded his bags with food and water. This is much safer than assigning a human to work, and the robot dog is designed for such tasks.
