If you are in Dubai you may notice a robot police officer sharing the street with you. Your first thought might be, "Have I walked into a movie set?"
The answer is no. That robot is Dubai's newest police officer.
The robot has a touch screen instead of a weapon. The robot will be employed mostly at shopping centers and other places popular with visitors.
The robot's face has eyes but no mouth or nose. It stands 165 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms.
If the robot works well, Dubai says 25 percent of its police force could be robotic by 2030.
The robot cop was officially presented at Dubai's Gulf Information and Security Expo and Conference in May.
Mohammed Elnakib, a telecommunications manager, was surprised when he was met with a "Hi, Mohammed!" from the robot cop.
Elnakib said, It was creepy but it is also the future. Then I realized it had read my name tag. This will be a fantastic addition because everything is moving towards doing more with fewer people.
The rolling robot reported for duty on the streets of Dubai.
The police hope the robots will make life easier for the people of Dubai. Khalid Al Razooqi is Director General of Smart Services at the Dubai Police. He said the robot can help the public all day every, every day, and that "it won't ask for any sick leave or maternity leave."
The robot cannot make arrests. But it can recognize faces and compare them to photographs on a criminal database. It can also sense emotions.
People can use the robot's touch screen to do things like report a crime, pay fines and report lost or found things. They can also ask how to get somewhere.
The robot can salute and shake hands with people. So far, the robot can speak in Arabic and English. It soon will learn other languages such as Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish.
In addition to having a touch screen, the robot has a camera that can live-stream video to a police command center.
Dubai has plans to add other kinds of robots to its police force. Within two years, the city plans to deploy a three-meter-tall robot that can run up to 80 kilometers an hour.
The Dubai government says the machine would be the world's largest robot. A human police officer will be able to sit inside and control the robot. It will be able to lift heavy objects.
The city also plans to use an egg-shaped robot to supervise parking areas and ticket traffic law violators.

如果你身在迪拜，那么你可能会看到大街上有机器人警察。你映入脑海的第一个想法可能是：“我是进错片场了吗？”
当然不是这样啦。你看到的机器人其实是迪拜新推出的警察。
这个机器人警察身上装备的是触屏装置而非武器。这种机器人警察一般会出现在购物中心或者其他人流量大的地方。
机器人警察有眼睛，但没有嘴和鼻子。其身高达165cm，体重有100公斤。
迪拜方面表示，如果试行良好，那么在2030年之前，将有1/4的警力是机器人。
机器人警察官方亮相是5月在迪拜的博览会和会议上。
电信经理穆罕默德在机器人对他说出“你好呀，穆罕默德”时感到非常惊喜。
穆罕默德表示，曾几何时，这确实不可思议，但未来确实会变成这样。当时，我意识到，这个机器人它念出了我的名字。有了这种机器人就如同锦上添花，因为现在的趋势就是用更少的人力做成更多的事情。
据报道，这种巡逻的机器人已经在迪拜的大街小巷开始执勤了。
警方希望这种机器人能让迪拜人民的生活更简单。哈利德是迪拜警方智能服务处的处长。他表示，这种机器人每天都能帮助到大众，而且“这种机器人警察也不会请病假或者产假”。
虽然这种机器人并不能逮捕嫌犯，但它能识别人脸，并将其与罪犯数据库里的照片进行对比。此外，它还能感受到人的情绪波动。
大家可以通过机器人警察的触屏装置来做这些事情：报告犯罪事件、支付罚金、报告丢失物品。甚至还可以问路。
这种机器人还会敬礼和握手。目前为止，这种机器人已经会说阿拉伯语和英语。很快就会纳入其他语言，比如俄语、韩语、法语、西班牙语。
除了触屏装置外，机器人警察还有摄像头，能将录屏实时传达给警方的指挥中心。
迪拜有计划将其他类型的机器人纳入警力。不出2年，迪拜就将部署高达3米的机器人，时速可达每小时80公里。
迪拜政府表示，这种机器人将是世界上最大的机器人。人类警察可以坐在这种机器人内部对其进行操控。这种机器人还能举起沉重的物体。
迪拜还计划用蛋形机器人来监督停车场，并给违背交通规则的人开罚单。
