    Singapore deploys bomb-sniffing bot

    ANN/The Straits Times – There is a new participant in this year’s National Day festivities in Singapore

    But spectators are unlikely to see it even as they are kept safe by it.

    It is one of two devices new to the police force – a four-wheeled remote-controlled robot that can sniff out bombs, security threats and suspicious objects – but its work is done almost exclusively underground in drains.

    While the robot tackles security on the ground, a drone works in the air to keep people safe, equipped with cameras and other sensors to scan high-rise areas.
