KP-BOT is additionally prepared to encourage a video call with a superior officer, superior approved. Ultimately, it is equipped for perceiving its superiors and welcome them with a salute. At the initiation, KP-BOT showed its salute when the Chief Minister moved toward it.
Kerala Police-BOT was created by a Kochi-based startup called Asimov Robotics Pvt Ltd as a team with Cyberdome, an innovative research and development wing of Kerala Police.
The robot clearly sports womanly facial highlights, including a precise dark bindi on its brow. “Women empowerment and gender equality were remembered while settling on the gender of the first RoboCop. Likewise, the way that most front office works are overseen by women was considered,” said Loknath Behra, the Director General of Police (DGP) in an announcement.
