Police patrol robots will be progressively deployed across Singapore, after more than five years of trials and smaller-scale roll-outs confirmed their viability.

Police robots to patrol across Singapore; two already at airport

The robots, each about 1.7m tall, can be used to enforce a cordon or warn bystanders during an incident before other police resources arrive at the scene.

Equipped with cameras, sensors, speakers, a display panel, blinkers and a siren, they are capable of autonomous patrol and can allow the police to communicate directly with the public.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Thursday that two of the robots have been deployed at Changi Airport Terminal 4 since April as part of its patrol operations, where they serve as additional eyes on the ground.

Police robots were first deployed in public as part of a trial at the Chingay Parade in February 2018.

Since then, they have gone through multiple iterations and names. They were previously known as the Multi-purpose All Terrain Autonomous Robot (Matar) 2.0 and 3.0.
