The 2nd Public Security Technology Expo opened this Tuesday in Lianyungang, in east China's Jiangsu Province, spotlighting the Chinese mainland's stride in smart security. Over the next three days, visitors will explore innovations from humanoid robots greeting guests to quadruped robotic dogs patrolling simulated urban landscapes.
At the heart of the showcase, a humanoid robot named "Safeguard" demonstrated its ability to navigate crowds, respond to voice commands in multiple languages, and stream live video feeds back to control centers. Nearby, robotic dogs scanned for anomalies using thermal cameras, mapping real-time data on smartphone dashboards.
Organizers say these machines reduce human exposure to risky environments—from monitoring highway incidents to assisting in disaster relief. With embedded AI, they can learn patrol routes, detect unusual behavior, and alert law enforcement within milliseconds.
Tech entrepreneurs at the expo emphasized collaboration across borders—inviting partners to test these solutions in international airports and smart cities worldwide. "Our goal is to build trust in human-robot teamwork," explained one developer, underscoring how autonomous machines can be allies in public safety.
As robotics and AI continue to evolve, the expo underscores a broader trend: emerging markets are racing to integrate smart technologies in everyday life, reshaping how communities stay safe and connected. Whether guiding digital nomads through crowded terminals or helping first responders in crisis zones, these robots present a glimpse into the future of public security.
