Traffic Guidance & Street Patrol

Humanoids work with police and traffic staff on intersection guidance, violation warnings, and directions for visitors, lightening repetitive, labor-heavy duty.

Core functions

Traffic guidance by gesture and voice, plus warnings to pedestrians and cyclists
Detects violations such as no helmet or crossing the stop line (system-dependent)
Directions and questions at tourist spots and busy districts

Customer value

Reduces the load on staff posted at intersections and tourist spots
Raises how often guidance and warnings happen through human–robot teamwork

Check before deploying

Road-use permits, legal status, and division of roles with police and local government
Tolerance of outdoor weather and noise, and safety in crowds

Selected Robots

Hand-picked for this work, with the reason each one fits. "PoC" marks robots to validate in a limited trial first.
