Riot Control Robot That Can Zap Protesters

[Still Waters]

A riot control robot that can zap people with an electrical charge has been unveiled in China.

Hailed as the country's first "intelligent security robot", it has an "electrically charged riot control tool" and an SOS button for people to notify police.

It can navigate autonomously, and uses on-board cameras to analyse situations.

its been trained to recognise human forms.... no problem then, wear a cardboard box and it will be baffled into doing nothing

Well call me old fashioned but I prefer my oppression to be done the old fashion way; by hyper-militaristic thugs in powered armor using MG42s to mow down an unarmed populace.
