The Dublin Police Department in Ohio has reportedly ended its use of a patrol robot known as “DubBot” after the machine failed to produce any arrests, criminal cases, or citations during its time in service, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
Dublin police spokesperson Robyn Gray told the outlet that the robot, officially called the K5 Autonomous Security Robot, was made by a California-based company named Knightscope, and it was introduced last summer and stationed at the Rock Cress Parking Garage, where it was tasked with monitoring the area for criminal activity.
