ROBOCOP IS REAL!!
Kerala now becomes the first state in India to include Robot in Police department. Soon, when you enter the headquarters of the Kerala Police department, you will be greeted by a robot.
Named as KP-Bot, the robot will have SI as its designation.
CM Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday inaugurated the humanoid police robot at the police headquarters in the state with Police salute. The Robot responded with a perfect salute.
The KP-Bot will be deployed to perform duties of the front office of the police headquarters which means that it will receive visitors and direct them to different places as and when required.
Talking about the inclusion of the Robot, DGP said:
Women empowerment and gender equality were kept in mind while deciding on the gender of the first robot. Also, the fact that most front office jobs are managed by women was considered.
Meanwhile, Assistant Deputy of police Manoj Abraham, who is in charge of the cyber dome, said that the first robot inducted into the force is a woman.
The visitors can directly interact with the SI-ranked KP-Bot. The robot is equipped with facilities to fix an appointment with officers, provide them with identity cards and also open new files based on their grievances.
Just like other police officers, the RoboCop is capable of identifying higher officials and greet them with a salute.
Its duties would include identifying and guiding a visitor to the concerned department. It would also enquire about the details of the visitors and record their complaints.
There are plans to update the RoboCop with more features like face recognition and explosive detection.
