A police robot is patrolling the streets of Tunis to enforce the government lockdown instituted last month to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the region.

CAPE TOWN - A police robot is patrolling the streets of Tunis to enforce the government lockdown instituted last month to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the region, reported online news publication the Guardian.

If people are spotted in the largely deserted streets, it approaches them and asks why they are out. It is not clear how many of the Tunisian-built surveillance robots, called PGuards, have been deployed by the interior ministry. Robotic technology and artificial intelligence are increasingly being used during these exceptional times as has been seen in China, which has used disinfecting robots and thermal camera-equipped drones among other gadgets to fight the coronavirus.
