Despite its appearance, the user (@Chengadu_China) said that the police robot could chase down criminals and shoot nets to capture them. The tyre robot can also handle falls from heights, which makes it more durable, especially while following a criminal on the run. The Chinese police robot could move at a 35-kilometre-per-hour speed.
Netizens reacted to this post on Instagram with mixed reactions. One user replied by sharing a "cringe" image of a boy. Another joked, "For how many miles for total battery charge?" Users posted questions about whether it performed enforcement or not, and one person even called it "Rodocop." Users questioned whether it can run with snail pace and catch a criminal.
A user said he tried joining the police but had to jump over a lot of hurdles during the physical training and had to climb things. A user posted an image of R2-D2, a popular robotic character from the Star Wars series. Overall, the robot received mixed reviews due to its appearance as people questioned its practical application in the police force.
