Wuhu City just got a futuristic upgrade! A robot traffic officer hit the streets on January 10, 2026, marking China's latest push to blend cutting-edge tech with urban management. This tech-savvy 'cop' wears a police cap and reflective vest like its human counterparts, but brings next-gen sensors to the job.
Equipped with 360-degree cameras and LiDAR (the same tech used in self-driving cars!), the bot detects traffic patterns, avoids obstacles, and even reminds pedestrians to cross safely. While human officers still lead operations, the robot acts as a high-tech assistant – think R2-D2 meets CHiPs 🚨
Local authorities tell us this trial run aims to reduce accidents through real-time monitoring. Bonus perk? The bot never gets tired of reminding cyclists to wear helmets! Early social media reactions show residents snapping selfies with their new metal colleague. Could this be the start of a robot revolution in city planning? We're watching 👀
