Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., announced that the Taylor City Council has officially approved the addition of a RADDOG™ 2LE to the Taylor Police Department.
This marks a historic moment as the city integrates its first robotic quadruped into the municipal police force, and RAD celebrates its inaugural deployment of RADDOG to a municipal entity.
The City of Taylor, recognised as the fifth most populous city in Wayne County and the 17th across Michigan, boasts a population of 63,409 as per the 2020 census.
With a dedicated force of approximately 100 sworn officers, the inclusion of RADDOG 2LE represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to enhance public safety and operational efficiency within the community.
RADDOG 2LE, designed and developed by RAD, is a state-of-the-art robotic system modelled to support law enforcement agencies in a variety of operational scenarios. Equipped with advanced mobility, surveillance capabilities, and patrolling functions, RADDOG 2LE is set to become an invaluable asset to the Taylor Police Department.
On January 24, 2024, the Taylor Police Department commented on social media following their final RADDOG 2LE demonstration, “This tool can be used as an additional resource for multiple emergencies that can help law enforcement. The robot can be deployed to assist in incidents where our officers and citizens can be in immediate danger and potentially provide a safer solution and reduce the risk in dangerous circumstances.”
As the City of Taylor and RAD embark on this pioneering journey, both parties look forward to witnessing the positive impact that RADDOG 2LE will have on the community, setting a benchmark for innovation in public safety.
