Hyderabad: Humans’ fascination with automaton, more particularly robots, is never ending. We all are fond of robots. Have you ever imagined a robot doing the job of a Police. Stop imagining… it is becoming a reality soon. Hyderabad will be the first city in the country which could deploy a Robo Cop.

T-Hub based startup H-Bots Robotics, which has opened its robotics and hardware making facility ‘Makers Leeway’ in Hyderabad on Wednesday is developing a prototype of a six feet tall Robo Cop for the city’s Police Department.

The company, which has begun the designing work on this will develop a prototype by September and after few months of trials will unveil the robot by December 31 this year, which can be deployed by the Department at Jubilee Hills Check post.

Kisshhan PSV, founder, H-Bots Robotics, told Telangana Today, “The robot will be able to identify a person who lodges a complaint, recognise objects which had been stationed in a location for long hours and inform the Police Control Room. Unlike the Police Robot currently used in Dubai, which moves only on wheels, our robot can walk, recognise people, take complaints and detect & diffuse bombs too.”

Principal Secretary, ITE&C Department, Government of Telangana, Jayesh Ranjan who launched the company’s robotics facility, unveiled the design of Police robot. He said, this will be the world’s second humanoid robot after Dubai. Robots have many applications across verticals. Multinationals such as Amazon have already deployed robots in warehouses, India will soon adapt to robotics technology.

The robot currently deployed in Dubai was made in France and deployed in Dubai. But H-Bots will bring out a totally Made in India humanoid robot.
