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.
More deployments are expected across the city of 5.6 million people, whose small population and low birth rate mean it has to make use of technology to overcome a lack of manpower.
“The SPF plans to progressively deploy more patrol robots to augment police’s operations across Singapore,” the SPF said in a statement, without giving a timeline.
