Nvidia's Artificial Intelligence Is Powering a "Robot Cop" That Will Patrol an NYC Subway

Nvidia's Artificial Intelligence Is Powering a "Robot Cop" That Will Patrol an NYC Subway

If you're an overnight subway rider in New York City, you might soon spot a 5-foot-3 blue and white robot on wheels that looks like a cross between Star Wars' R2D2 and one of the Coneheads from the popular Saturday Night Live skit. New York City is leasing the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered autonomous K5 robot, made by Knightscope, for two months as part of a pilot program. The pilot is part of Adams' goal of bringing more technology to the New York Police Department to help human officers deter and fight crime.
