A humanoid robot has made its debut on the streets of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, acting as a pedestrian traffic warden to assist local police in managing roads and intersections.
Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the robot stands at busy crosswalks, gesturing to pedestrians and reminding them to follow traffic safety guidelines when crossing the street.
“It’s exciting to see such advanced technology being used for public safety,” said Li Wei, a local resident. “The robot is not only helpful but also draws attention to the importance of road safety.”
The humanoid robot combines artificial intelligence with human-like gestures to interact effectively with pedestrians. Its presence aims to enhance traffic management and reduce accidents in the bustling city.
Chengdu’s adoption of robotic traffic wardens reflects China’s growing investment in AI and robotics to improve urban living. The initiative is seen as a step forward in integrating smart technology into everyday life.
“We hope that the robot can assist in promoting better traffic habits among residents,” said a spokesperson from the local police department. “It’s an innovative approach to a common urban challenge.”
As Chengdu continues to embrace technological advancements, locals and visitors alike are eager to see how this humanoid helper will impact the city’s traffic flow.
