In Singapore, a robot crisscrosses city streets, watching for the slightest infraction. A badly parked bicycle, an electric scooter running on the sidewalk, a large gathering or a person smoking in an unauthorised area are all things that it's tracking.

Currently being tested in a trial taking place over a few weeks, if all goes to plan it will eventually take up its place in assisting public officers tasked with looking out for the safety and health of the city's inhabitants.
