RAD achieves cost savings through a suite of stationary and mobile robotic solutions that supplement, and sometimes directly replace, the need for human personnel in environments better suited to machines.
FREMONT, CA: “The robotic dog is a situational, defensive tool that gives its user a vision that may not be available without human risk.” says Lt. Jeff Adamisin of the Taylor Police Department.
Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), an Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions subsidiary, declared the delivery of a RADDOG LE to the Taylor, Michigan Police Department. RADDOG LE's delivery to the Taylor Police Department marks a watershed moment in integrating technology into law enforcement. The achievement demonstrates RAD's commitment to transforming the landscape of security and public safety with cutting-edge AI-powered, robotic solutions.
“It puts us face-to-face with the person or situation without a risk of harm. It can act almost like Zoom where you can have interaction without other possible problems,” adds John Blair, Chief of Police.
The Taylor Police Department's integration of RADDOG LE represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to improve public safety and streamline community operations, with the support of a dedicated team of approximately 100 sworn officers.
RAD’s Sr. Vice President of Revenue Operations, Troy McCanna, an ex-FBI agent of 23 years, expressed enthusiasm about the new addition, stating, “Together, we embark on a journey towards a safer and more technologically advanced future, where RADDOG stands as a beacon of progress and partnership. We sincerely hope that the addition of RADDOG within the Taylor PD will add a layer of safety for their officers and work to de-escalate dangerous situations.”
RADDOG LE, designed and developed by RAD, is a cutting-edge quadruped robot dog that assists law enforcement agencies in various operational scenarios. RADDOG LE, with its advanced mobility, surveillance capabilities, and patrolling functions, is poised to be an invaluable asset to the Taylor Police Department and other law enforcement agencies across the United States.
