NYPD introduced two robot policing technologies, GPS dart system
New York Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced the deployment of two robot policing technologies and a GPS-based system for tracking stolen vehicles.
One of the robotic technologies was the Digidog — a four-legged robotic dog made by Boston Dynamics. The city had previously introduced it under former Mayor Bill de Blasio. But a few loud people opposed it which resulted in the Digidog being decommissioned after less than a year.
The city has acquired two of the Digidogs, which city officials said cost $750,000 and were paid for with asset forfeiture funds.
