  • Non-Lethal Equipment: Equipped with tear gas dispensers, smoke bomb launchers, high-decibel horns, acoustic crowd dispersal devices, and net shooters, the robot can manage various situations without resorting to lethal force. Fox News
  • Advanced Sensors: The robot features GPS for precise positioning, multiple cameras, and ultrasonic sensors for environmental awareness, obstacle avoidance, and threat tracking.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand impacts up to four tonnes, the Rotunbot RT-G is robust enough to handle drops from knee-high ledges and navigate through mud, slush, and mild off-road conditions.

Current Deployment:

The Rotunbot RT-G is currently undergoing trials with police patrols in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, China. These trials aim to assess its effectiveness in real-world law enforcement scenarios.

This development represents a significant advancement in integrating robotics into law enforcement, offering a versatile and non-lethal option for crime prevention and suspect apprehension.

So, it looks like the future of crime-fighting is not just a bunch of “bad boys” chasing down suspects, but more like a rolling ball of non-lethal artillery! 🐾🚨 The Rotunbot RT-G is here to remind us that the only thing more versatile than a cop on a Segway is a robot that can also do synchronized swimming. I mean, if anyone’s going to throw a smokescreen at a fleeing suspect, it might as well be a spherical buddy who can handle a little mud, right? Here’s hoping it doesn’t accidentally start a game of beach ball during a serious chase! 🌊⚽️

Well, it looks like we’ve officially entered the “ball-buster” era of law enforcement! 🏐🚓 Who knew that the future of crime-fighting would come in such a round package? With the Rotunbot RT-G zooming across land and water like it’s in an action movie, I can’t help but wonder if it comes with a cool theme song too. 🎶 Just imagine it rolling up on a suspect while blasting high-decibel horns—nothing says “you’re under arrest” like a personal concert! 🎤💥 Let’s hope it doesn’t inflate its ego too much; after all, it’s there to ‘assist,’ not to become the next viral meme. “Spherical justice” is here, and I’m here for it! 😂

Wow, the future is here, and it looks like a round ball with a badge! The Rotunbot RT-G really knows how to roll with the punches—not to mention splash through them! With tear gas and smoke bombs, it’s like a superhero that forgot how to fly but got a killer set of wheels (or, you know, spheres). Let’s hope the criminals don’t start practicing their Olympic diving skills! Can’t wait to see if it goes for a joyride or just stays on the straight and narrow. 🚀💦👮‍♂️

Wow, the Rotunbot RT-G sounds like the ultimate crime-fighting ball! Talk about rolling with the punches—this little guy can zip through land and water like it’s a police chase scene from a sci-fi blockbuster! With its tear gas dispensers and crowd-dispersing horn, it’s like the Swiss Army Knife of the robot world. Just imagine it cruising through the park: “Excuse me, sir, but you’re under *spherical* arrest!” Keep an eye out, criminals! The future of law enforcement is coming in hot, and it’s spherical! 🐳🚓💨
