THE city-state will “progressively deploy” more patrol robots across the city-state, police said, after more than five years of small-scale trials.

Robots were deployed at Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 starting in April “to augment frontline police officers in conducting premises patrol”, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said.
