The paths of artificial intelligence seem inexhaustible, given that every week we learn about new tools, platforms and models that are capable of offering new ways to help people. On this occasion, AI takes the side of roboticswe are not yet talking about robots like those that have appeared throughout the history of cinema, and it presents us police assistant which a trained agent has nothing to envy.
Spot, a robot that will fight the drug trade in Holland
If there is a a four-legged robot famous on the planet, so is the ingenuity of Boston Dynamics called Point. The American company’s robot has already demonstrated its ability to help people, but we didn’t know it could be used, even in police work. And it seems the Dutch police are already using a remote-controlled version of this robot to do just that shut down illegal drug labs.
They present us with information provided by the New Scientist media Simon Princea Dutch policeman who was experience with Spot to be able to dismantle dangerous laboratories, a dangerous task for human beings because the materials used are prone to explosion.
Simon claims it robot from Boston Dynamics used by the Dutch police includes a robotic arm and what is controlled by the operator human resources to carry out research work in these hazardous environments as well as in surveillance operations. The Dutch security forces are currently conducting tests in fake laboratories with a Spot creature controlled by an artificial intelligence system.
It’s because it’s meant to be use these botsfuture, without the need for human intervention,, which will allow operations to be faster and more efficient. Simon says that:
I want these guys to be busy with the operation and not the robot. So this is the game we’re playing today: how autonomous can we make it?
The the future work of these robots This would provide the police with the information they need to launch a raid without compromising their own safety. The generation of Spot robots with AI will help not only to perform a initial inspectionbut also to check for any suspects around, create a map area already identify possible dangerous elements.
For the moment, first tests took place in a fake laboratory measuring 15 x 20 meters and Spot managed to find dangerous chemicals during his tour. And not only that, he achieved Store these items in a secure container. If the future of policing involves the use of robots, Boston Dynamics appears to have an important role to play.
