A new robotic traffic officer began its duty on the streets of Wuhu City in east China's Anhui Province on Saturday. This domestically developed robot is now undergoing on-the-job training, participating in front-line traffic management and order maintenance. At the intersection of Chizhushan Road and Huizhou Road in Wuhu, the robotic officer, wearing a white police cap and a traffic vest, was seen directing traffic with standard hand gestures. It reminded passing vehicles of traffic rules and coordinated with on-site human officers to promote civilized road behavior. The robotic traffic officer is equipped with six cameras and one light detection and ranging system, enabling it to perceive road conditions, avoid obstacles autonomously while moving, and transmit collected data to a backend system. Currently, the robot is primarily undergoing training for application scenarios such as disseminating traffic regulations, assisting with intersection command and control, and intelligently identifying and advising against uncivilized behavior.
