United Arab Emirates policing is entering an even more advanced 
futuristic phase, after the city of Dubai signed a deal that will see 
mini, self-driving cop cars deployed to fight street crime. 
Dubai has already experimented with android policing, with the deployment of its first robotic officer of the law in May.<br />
Now an agreement has been reached by UAE vice president Sheikh Mohammed 
bin Rashid Al Maktoum and a Singapore firm over an autonomous security 
vehicle known as O-R3.<br />
<br />
The sleek robot by Otsaw Digital has four wheels and can navigate its 
surroundings using a series of sensors attached to its bodywork. <br />
According to its makers, the O-R3 comes equipped with a range of cameras that will enable it to carry out “<i>facial and license plate recognition.”</i><br />

When faced with an obstacle that it cannot overcome, the O-R3 also has 
the ability to send out a surveillance drone in order to keep tabs on a 
fleeing suspect, footage of the vehicle reveals. <br />
Meanwhile, human monitors have the ability to take over control of the robot from a centralized location. <br />
<br />
<i>“In
 an industry plagued with high turnover, OR-3 ensures fulfilment of 24/7
 security shifts that keeps premises secure at all time and reduces the 
reliance on human guards,”</i> the Otsaw Digital website states.<br />
<i>“No off days… OR-3 performs its security duties with machine driven efficiency, 24/7, 365.”</i><br />
<br />
The new deal was signed Wednesday and later announced on the Dubai Police website. <br />
<i>“Dubai Police are keen to get the latest technology to fight crime,</i>” said Dubai police commander, Major General Abdullah Al-Marri. <br />
<br />
He added: <i>“The
 self-driving robot is the latest addition to intelligent forces of the 
Dubai Police, and it has been specifically designed to be used on the 
streets of the city. </i><br />
<i>“It will also help to combat crime, maintain safety and enhance people’s happiness.”</i><br />
<br />
The
 OR-3 is expected to appear at the Gitex technology fair in Dubai this 
October and should be ready for full deployment to the police force 
before 2021.<br />
