Robocop Is Now Real: Meet China's AI-Powered PM01 Patrol Robot!
China has just unveiled its most advanced security technology yet: the AI-powered humanoid police robot PM01. This revolutionary patrol robot is no longer a prototype — it's officially on duty in the streets of Shenzhen. With facial recognition, license plate scanning, real-time crowd monitoring, and multilingual voice command response, PM01 is transforming the future of law enforcement and public safety.
Meet PM01 — China's First Official AI-Powered Humanoid Police Robot
China has taken a groundbreaking step in merging artificial intelligence with public security. The PM01, a humanoid police robot developed by Engine AI, has officially joined the police force in Shenzhen — not as a concept or test unit, but as an active patrol agent on public streets.
Standing at 1.38 meters tall and weighing 40 kilograms, PM01 might appear compact, but it's packed with powerful technology. It features 320-degree waist rotation for panoramic crowd scanning without moving its feet, facial recognition, license plate reading, and voice command processing in both Mandarin and Cantonese. It can detect lost children, interact with tourists, and instantly report suspicious activity to the command center in real time.
What sets PM01 apart is its blend of humanlike form and advanced autonomy — a robot designed not just to function, but to be accepted and trusted in daily public environments. Its recent viral performance of a flawless forward flip shows it’s not only smart but surprisingly agile too.
At a price point of around $12,000, PM01 is also one of the most affordable humanoid police robots in its class, making large-scale deployment a real possibility for smart cities across China.
This is more than a technological milestone — it's the start of a new era in urban security. As more AI robots like PM01 enter everyday life, the line between science fiction and reality continues to blur.
