Chinaโs new patrol robot looks like RoboCop with a PR team. It shows up flanked by a local SWAT-adjacent team, walking like it graduated top of its class at Police Academy.
EngineAIโs T800 stands 5-foot-8, weighs 165 pounds, has 360ยฐ lidar and enough torque to throw spinning kicks. Battery life is about four hours, which feels relatable.

Its cameras hoover up faces and pipe them straight into law enforcement databases. The droid is the sci-fi cool factor, but the real system is the facial recognition stack feeding live data into policing networks, quietly deciding who you are before you even blink.
