NYPD’s security robot has been pulled from its Times Square subway station post just months after Eric Adams described it as ‘part of the fabric’ of the future.
New York Police Department unveiled its fleet of ‘Big Brother’ robocops that would patrol the city’s streets and subways in April.
In September, Mayor Eric Adams announced another robot would be joining the department – an almost 400-pound robot to roam the Times Square – 42nd Street subway station and patrol the mezzanine level of the station.
The AI-driven security robots are no longer being deployed in New York City’s transit system, officials confirmed on Sunday.
The end of robot security at the Big Apple’s most busy subway station comes after Adams called the tech part of the system’s future.
