"'The sky is really the limit. Take a robbery, for instance - they could really take control of the scene,' he said. 'They could chase you for five miles and they won't get tired. At the same time, while they are chasing the suspect, they can scan the suspect's bio and characteristics. Their AI can detect from 200 metres away if the suspect has a weapon or not. A human officer would not be able to do that.'"
"While there are obvious legal and moral implications to their rollout, he believes the rollout of robot police officers is inevitable. 'Engaging in the use of force, engaging in high-speed chase - it's not in our imagination, it's coming up,' he said. 'My predictions are these robots will do straight law enforcement, probably within a couple of years.'"
"Alongside 'robocop', human police officers will likely be equipped with AI-powered helmets to boost their capabilities, according to the expert. During a high-stakes situation, for example, the AI could analyse 'whether to shoot or not to shoot', Professor Sun explained."
Humanoid robot police will detect, pursue, and detain suspects using facial recognition, bio-scanning, and AI sensors by 2031. Robots will chase suspects over long distances without fatigue and assess threats from hundreds of metres. Robots will likely operate alongside human partners and handle dangerous tasks such as scene control, high-speed chases, and use-of-force situations. Human officers will receive AI-enhanced helmets to assist split-second decisions. Facial recognition and long-range weapon-detection capabilities present surveillance and civil-rights concerns. Deployment will affect force composition and may prioritize robot use for hazardous operations, requiring new legislation and privacy safeguards before widescale adoption.
