It's no RoboCop,Russia but it'll come when it senses trouble.
China's new robot police officers have started patrolling streets.
The E-Patrol Robot Sheriff (E巡机器警长) is able to track and follow potential criminals or suspicious people via facial recognition, according to the Economic Daily.

The new E-Patrol Robot Sheriff has already caught on to its first hazard -- it found a small fire on its first day, according to the Economic Daily, which published a first-hand account of police officers who worked with the RoboCop.
An officer wrote: "Thankfully, the robot's air monitoring and humidity monitoring functions helped us, if not we'd have a huge mess on our hands."
