迪拜机器人警察“上班了”!


If you are in Dubai, you may notice a robot police officer sharing the street with you. Your first thought might be, "Have I walked into a movie set?" The answer is no. That robot is Dubai's newest police officer. The robot has a touch screen instead of a weapon. The robot will be employed mostly at shopping centers and other places popular with visitors.
The robot has eyes but no mouth or nose. It stands 165 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. If the robot works well, Dubai says 25 percent of its police force could be robotic by 2030. The police hope the robots will make life easier for the people of Dubai. 
People can use the robot's touch screen to do things like reporting a crime, paying fines and reporting lost or found things. They can also ask how to get somewhere. The robot can shake hands with people. So far, the robot can speak in Arabic and English. It soon will learn other languages such as Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish.
Dubai has plans to add other kinds of robots to its police force. Within two years, the city plans to deploy(部署) a three-meter-tall robot that can run up to 80 kilometers an hour. The Dubai government says the machine would be the world's largest robot. A human police officer will be able to sit inside and control the robot. It will be able to lift heavy objects.
