US EditionNYPD rolls out subway surveillance robot to patrol Times Square station
- New York City is implementing a pilot program in which a Knightscope K5 security robot will be deployed alongside a human police officer in Times Square subway station. The robot will operate between midnight and 6 a.m.
- The robot will be trained to map out the station during the first two weeks of the program. Though concerns have been raised about its invasion of privacy, officials insist that the robot will improve public safety.
- The program aims to prevent subway vandalism and catch those who target the robots. While the city will only pay $9 per hour for the robot's operation, officials acknowledge that the surveillance may not prevent future acts of vandalism.
