Far from barking its orders, a robot dog enlisted by Singapore authorities to help curb coronavirus infections in the city-state politely asks ...

As well as broadcasting messages reminding visitors of social distancing measures, SPOT is fitted with cameras and analytics tools to estimate the number of people in the park. These cameras will not be able to track or recognise specific individuals, and no personal data will be collected, said the authorities.

"This lowers the risk of exposure to the virus. Unlike wheeled robots, SPOT works well across different terrains and can navigate obstacles effectively, making it ideal for operation in public parks and gardens," the authorities said.A four-legged robot dog called SPOT patrols Bishan-Ang Mo Kio park on May 8, 2020.

The future is here.

That’s pretty cool☺️

What if peoples accidental bump onto it? Topple? If a NP officer is there with the robot, why not the officer carries a speaker with recorded message? Bicycles can ramp onto it, runners can bump onto it...

A total waste of time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it!!!

Do these robodogs shoot paint at offenders? It would be great if they do! The paint on the offenders help the rest of us identify them, and that’ll keep us safe, too!

Singaporeans, you better wake up now while you’re still free. That fake dog ain’t there to watch “social distancing.” Destroy that piece of shìt.
