Singapore to put more police robots on the streets

SINGAPORE: Singapore will 'progressively deploy' more patrol robots across the city-state, police said Thursday, after more than five years of small-scale trials.

Robots were deployed at Changi Airport's Terminal 4 starting in April 'to augment frontline police officers in conducting premises patrol,' the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said.
