The Royal Thai Police introduced a humanoid police robot during the Songkran festival to monitor the crowds using advanced surveillance technology. Although equipped with facial recognition and high-risk notifications, skeptics wonder about its practical utility, as it seems to lack mobility, resembling a fixed camera setup more than a functional bipedal officer. Furthermore, past failures of similar police robots in the U.S. raise concerns about the efficacy of such technology in real-world law enforcement scenarios.
What can it do that a tripod with a 360-degree camera and a mobile computer can't? Why bother with an entire bipedal dummy?
We've already seen plenty of disastrous rollouts of robots in law enforcement. For instance, police forces across the United States have already deployed security robots developed by California-based security company Knightscope.
