Dubai has introduced its latest innovation aimed at keeping the city safe and secure – the ‘Robocop‘. This cutting-edge smart robot, inspired by the iconic character from the 1987 movie, is set to revolutionize how law enforcement is carried out in the city.
Enhanced Security Measures
Developed in partnership with leading robotics and AI company Terminus Group and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Robocop is equipped with advanced technology, including facial recognition linked with Emirates ID. Its primary objective is to detect and deter crime effectively across Dubai.

Keeping Streets Safe
During its trial period, Robocop will focus on monitoring violations related to bicycle and scooter use, such as not wearing helmets and improper parking. It will also be able to identify other offenses like large gatherings and unauthorized scooter use in pedestrian zones, with an accuracy rate of over 85%.
Patrolling the City
Robocop will patrol designated areas, starting with the Jumeirah 3 beach area, on weekdays from 3 pm to 11 pm and on weekends from 5 pm to 1 am. Equipped with a high-resolution camera and night vision capabilities, it can swiftly detect violations and relay data within seconds.
Friendly Interaction
Despite its futuristic appearance, Robo-cop is designed to interact with the public in a friendly manner while ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. While fines may be imposed for violations, the initial focus of the trial phase is on data collection and analysis to assess effectiveness.
Advancing Dubai’s Vision
The introduction of Robo-cop aligns with Dubai’s vision to become a global leader in artificial intelligence by 2031. It represents a significant step towards realizing this vision by leveraging technology to enhance urban living and public safety.
A Safer Future
With Robocop on the streets, residents and visitors can expect a safer and more secure environment. As Dubai continues to embrace technological advancements, Robocop stands as a symbol of innovation and progress in ensuring the well-being of its citizens.
