The New York Police Department (NYPD) has introduced a robot police dog named 'Spot' made by Boston Dynamics to fight crime.Spot can help humans during crises, patrol dangerous areas, monitor construction sites, and communicate with people.The NYPD also deployed other latest technologies such as the StarChase system and the K5 ASR pilot for automated patrol in confined areas.However, the use of 'digidog' was previously cancelled after critics raised concerns about surveillance and weaponisation of the police.
