"The 'K9-X' unit functions as a kind of first responder only. The robot dogs are not armed, but each unit incorporates video cameras, night vision, and communication systems that are used to issue warnings or instructions. Its function is to deter illegal activity, detect unusual behavior, identify suspicious objects, control crowds, and immediately alert law enforcement when the system deems necessary."
"These K9-X robot dogs are going to support the police with an initial intervention, providing video and ultimately entering high-risk locations-that is, before public security forces go in-and to protect officers' physical safety, the robots will intervene in the event of a fight or an intoxicated person,"
"We have good police officers, and we are working hand in hand with cutting-edge technology for the safety of the people of Guadalupe."
Guadalupe unveiled four K9-X robot dogs to support security at BBVA Stadium ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The units act as unarmed first responders equipped with video cameras, night vision, and communication systems to issue warnings and instructions. They are designed to deter illegal activity, detect unusual behavior and suspicious objects, control crowds, and immediately alert law enforcement when necessary. The robots operate semi-autonomously under operator control, allowing remote movement and crisis command issuance. The units conducted preventive patrols during a Club de Futbol Monterrey match and are part of a broader plan that includes surveillance drones and anti-drone technology.
