Robcop patrols the streets of China (6 photos + 1 video)
Yes, the future is already here! A little awkward, but still very cool.
Their clothes in bright residential buildings immediately catch the eye and speak of status. And people have to pass simple exams, study for a long time to get a title.
The robot even shakes hands, passes! Waves to the crowd, executing voice commands, acts quite gracefully.
Very cool, but too small, like a lapdog
The robot is called "Model PM01", it was released on December 24, 2024. With a height of 1.38 meters and a weight of 40 kg, they cost 88,000 yuan.
The robot is next to a Chinese person of average height, and still so small
Despite their compact size, the robots transform the learning algorithm. The connections for movement are also strengthened, which allows them to walk naturally and smoothly, like people. They are trained to perform complex maneuvers that ordinary people cannot do, such as doing a front somersault.
As "fillings" in the robotic LiDAR system (which frames the environment with laser vision), there are ten more different sensors and the latest chips for processing information.

Robots can accurately respond to commands and move in conditions of mass manifestation and onlookers constantly climbing into their faces.
Who invented Robocop and what does it do
PM01 was developed by EngineAI, a Shenzhen-based startup that was founded only a year and a half ago. But the company has already introduced several models of robots. The most innovative of them is SE01, it has learned to perform complex actions such as squatting, jumping, push-ups and carrying objects.
Of course, PM01 doesn't catch guns on its own or chase robbers like in the Robocop movie. In the Shenzhen police, they help officers on patrol, taking on some of their workload.
He has a pretty gentle gait:
Shenzhen is not a big place where robots work. In Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, another patrol robot on wheels did more than just walk and keep order.

This robot found and saved a child! It looks more like a lunar rover...
Everyone in China is crazy about it (and foreigners on YouTube too). This police robot acts incredibly "human-like". And I'm still waiting for even more active, smart and useful police robots to be introduced this year. If I were a police officer, I'd be nervous, but where would they work if the patrolmen were replaced!?
It would be better to replace housekeepers than the police, so that ordinary people could do something more productive than clean the toilet and hang out their laundry in the house. And make one robot per residential complex, so that it would come to the apartment once a week on schedule to clean. Now that's what I call a concierge service.

Tell me that the head references were definitely taken from that very Robocop!
