Footage from Shenzhen shows a humanoid robot walking alongside police officers during a public patrol, highlighting China’s rapid move to test robots in real-world security roles. The human-sized robot was seen at the Window of the World tourist area, calmly moving with officers, though authorities emphasized that this was a demonstration rather than an official police deployment.
The robot, developed by Shenzhen-based EngineAI as part of its T800 humanoid line, has recently progressed from laboratory testing to public trials. This deployment underscores how quickly humanoid robots are being introduced into everyday environments and explored for potential roles in public safety and law enforcement.
