Three types of robots were unveiled by Handan police on Wednesday. There are patrol robots that can navigate¹ the streets autonomously². Equipped with intelligent cameras, they can spot traffic violations³, give offenders⁴ verbal warnings, and take photos of incidents

 

A customer service robot is designed to provide information and answer questions from the public at vehicle registration⁵ centers. And small, portable, remote-controlled traffic robots can help manage the scene at a road accident by giving visual and audible directions to passing drivers.
