The New York Police Department is equipping itself with new technology designed to assist its officers with very specific missions. As a result, robot dogs will soon be stepping onto the city streets, as well as new devices tasked with monitoring certain enclosed spaces.
After a first aborted experiment in 2021, the New York Police Department has decided to reinstate Digidog, a variant of the famous four-legged robot Spot developed by Boston Dynamics. According to the authorities, Digidog will be used primarily for dangerous missions that could endanger NYPD officers.
Still, NYPD's reintroduction of these robot dogs raises certain concerns about privacy, as Digidog is equipped with cameras. However, there is no question of arming it for the moment. Two robots have currently been ordered. As with a robot vacuum cleaner, it's possible to define a route that the robot can easily follow thanks to its integrated cameras and sensors. It can then"patrol" that predefined area. It will be able to return to its recharging station if needed and then continue with its mission once its batteries are full again.
