A video recording from the Chinese streets depicted a scene reminiscent of a science fiction story – drones with a spherical shape flying alongside law enforcement officers.

Logon Technology, a Chinese robotics company, announced the launch of the RT-G autonomous spherical robot, which is a "technological breakthrough" designed to assist and potentially replace humans in hazardous situations.

The spherical robots are capable of operating both on land and water.

The company stated that the robots can achieve speeds of up to 35km/h (approximately 22 mph) and withstand impact damage of up to 8,818 pounds (4 tons).

The integration of technology and traditional policing techniques in China's recent use of robots indicates a shift towards enhancing public safety.

In April 2023, New York Mayor Eric Adams revealed robotic dogs to the public.

At the unveiling, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell stated that the use of these technologies will be transparent, consistent, and always done in collaboration with the people we serve.

The NYPD employed robotic dogs to aid in investigating high-risk or hazardous incidents.
