On March 8, at Boda Park located within the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Beijing E-Town), two gray and white robot dogs, identified with signs of "Patrol, Publicity and Prevention" (巡逻宣防), carried out their patrol duties alongside a fleet of unmanned patrol vehicles.
These are part of a cutting-edge smart patrol system employed in Beijing E-Town. The system features 18 Level-4 autonomous vehicles, 15 manned patrol cars, and two industrial-level smart robot dogs. The smart robot dogs are among the most advanced industrial models in the world, with each having a four-legged bionic design, and equipped with multispectral cameras and a searchlight set on the head. These features boast an industrial and futuristic technological style. Despite each weighing approximately 65 kilograms, they demonstrate exceptional agility and mobility.
Reminiscent of a hound, each smart robot dog can operate in extreme conditions such as heavy rain and high temperatures. Devices like explosion-proof devices and gas detectors can be installed on them quickly, enhancing their capabilities of efficiently carrying out various tasks including patrolling and explosive ordnance disposal. Utilizing the 5G network for simultaneous interaction with unmanned vehicles behind them, robot dogs perform precise ground inspections, while unmanned vehicles manage material supplies and data transmission. They are able to foster an effective collaboration between "outpost reconnaissance" and "rear support".
With a silver-gray color, each unmanned patrol vehicle has been equipped with a 360-degree panoramic camera and high-precision sensors. These vehicles are capable of integrating into the smart city video system to establish an "air-ground integrated network" for three-dimensional monitoring and management. This setup ensures a comprehensive 24-hour patrol coverage across the entire Beijing E-Town.
The latest smart patrol system merges artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with big data analysis, allowing for the real-time identification of risks such as abnormal behaviors and fire hazards. Alerts are promptly sent to the command center via the 5G network, forming a comprehensive "detect-respond-tackle" cycle for emergencies. In the patrol zones, the fleet operates tirelessly day and night, achieving an efficiency that is three times higher compared with traditional methods, thereby significantly reducing blind spots for monitoring and control.
