On the evening of July 23, a humanoid robot dressed in traffic police uniform made an appearance at an intersection on East Nanjing Road in Huangpu District, Shanghai, drawing a crowd of onlookers.

Named Xiao Hu, the humanoid traffic robot took over four years to develop, train, and prepare for deployment.

While on duty, Xiao Hu issues voice prompts to pedestrians such as, “Red light, please stop,” and uses standard traffic police hand signals to direct foot traffic across the road.

Equipped with strong learning and imitation abilities, Xiao Hu can not only manage road traffic but also provide directions and answer questions related to traffic laws.

According to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau’s Traffic Management Department, the robot represents a new technological approach to traffic control and has not yet been officially deployed. Its appearance was part of a real-world learning exercise for traffic management scenarios.

7月23日晚，一台身穿交管制服的人形机器人亮相于上海黄浦区南京东路一路口，吸引了民众的围观。

这台人形机器人交警被命名为“小沪”，从研发、训练到上岗用了4年多时间。

在执勤过程中，“小沪”一边用语音提示行人，如“红灯停，请勿通行！”，一边以交警标准手势指挥行人通过马路。

“小沪”具备较强学习和模仿能力，除了能够指挥道路交通，还能提供指路、解答交通法规知识等服务。

上海市公安局交管总队介绍，该机器人为本市公安交管部门探索科技赋能交通管理的新实践，目前未正式投入使用，此次亮相主要是进行交通管理场景学习。
