SINGAPORE: A few taps on a mobile device may soon be all that is needed to deploy an entire fleet of police robots across the Republic.

Orders from a single person would then be executed synchronously by the robots, which include the Multi-purpose All-Terrain Autonomous Robots (Matar) and the Rover-X robotic dog.
