New Robotcop III Set to Fight Crime in Hong Kong.

There is a new cop patrolling the streets of Hong Kong and teaching children how to prevent crime. But it’s a robot, named Robotcop III, designed and built in Hong Kong, tells us Channel Newsasia. Robotcop III can walk, dance, move in any direction, display videos and answer questions asked in Cantonese and English. The previous versions of Robotcops, introduced in 1988 and 1995, were imported from the U.S. and taught 800,000 school children how to fight crime. The promoters of Robotcop III hope it will do even better.

After two predecessors from the U.S., Robotcop The Third is “born-and-bred”, so to speak, in Hong Kong.
It might cost around HK$300,000 (US$38,500) to develop and build, but the service it provides the Hong Kong crime prevention drive is priceless.
