| Singapore uses robots to conduct patrols |
Singapore has begun testing robots called Xavier, which will allow it to patrol and survey public areas in heavy traffic conditions. This is the latest attempt to improve upon its powerful suite of monitoring tools.
The use of Xavier bots supports the work of public officials. Reduces the manpower required for infantry patrols and improves operation efficiency.
Singapore is known for its strict laws and security cameras throughout the city-state. It is one of the safest countries in the world.
The joint venture includes five public institutions, namely the Agency for Science and Technology, the National Environment Agency, the Land Transport Authority, the Singapore Food Agency and the Housing and Tourism Agency.
Over the next three weeks, the robot will monitor crowds at the Toa Payoh Center for Undesirable Social Behavior described by national authorities.
These bad behaviors include gatherings of more than five people, which is inconsistent with the security measures of the Corona virus.
In addition, Xavier bots will also search for smokers and illegal street vendors in restricted areas.
You will be patrolling nearby, looking for improperly parked bikes or mobile devices and other motorcycles on sidewalks and sidewalks.
When the robot detects any of these behaviors, it will issue a warning to its command center and then display a corresponding message on its screen to inform the public.

These machines are equipped with cameras that allow a 360-degree view of the command post. It can also use infrared cameras and low-light cameras to take pictures in low-light conditions.
In addition, the recorded video is analyzed by an artificial intelligence system. To search for anything that may require a response from a human manager.
The robots are equipped with sensors that enable them to avoid stationary and moving objects, including pedestrians and vehicles.
Singapore has announced that it will double its number of surveillance cameras to 200,000 by 2030. This is more than double the cameras currently used in the island nations of Southeast Asia.
Officials believe these robots can help enhance these surveillance measures and reduce the need for police to conduct physical patrols.
