American nonprofit research institute SRI International has developed a prototype of what it’s calling a “police robot,” as IEEE Spectrum reports. The robot is meant to prevent accidents that occur when the police pull over drivers.
The brain behind the bot is Rueben Brewer, a senior robotics research engineer at SRI. Brewer started building the prototype in his garage.
“With such dangerous interactions between people, maybe it’s time to send a robot in between them, one that can’t hurt or be hurt,” reads the caption of the video. “Our robot goes between people to keep everyone safe.”
The cop bot is attached to a telescopic robotic arm that can extend from the side of the cop car to reach the window of the pulled over vehicle in front of it. The office is then able to communicate with the driver via a webcam.
From there, Brewer’s robocop can do it all: it can scan the driver’s license, spit out a ticket, and even deploy spikes to stop a perp from getting away.

Smao just drive off its gonna take him like 10 mins to put it back
People are trying to hard to live in the future. This is so stupid and inconvenient
This is for the laziest cop ever. Doesn’t even have to get out of the car? Can still eat his doughnut 🍩 lunch while giving tickets 🎫 simultaneously Ha ha ha ha…..
♿
I’D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!!!
Are cops really this scared ? 🤣🤣
Way cheaper to just hire a cop
Wow
Holy , Police State , Batman . The most insidious invention in human history . Stalin , Mao , Hitler would have loved it . To me , its another nail in the coffin of Freedom . It will enrage people so much , it will cause MORE harm to Law Enforcement .
This shit is stupid
Can’t smell my weed or alcohol… perfect 👌🏼 we need this
Why are people talking shit? This is a great idea, and keeps both the officer and the driver safe.
Yea .. Id smack that thing to the ground. So tired of being extorted after a long days of honest work. Im basically sick to my stomach whenever i see a cop. It isnt right.. I shouldn't feel like that when im doing nothing wrong.. They are nothing but thugs. I wish people would get their balls together and beat these skunks with a stick whenever they step out of their cars.
That hat just looks silly. I don't see many people taking this thing seriously. Just looks dorky.
What the fuck?
