Dubai's new robot uses facial recognition to penalize e-scooter and bicycle rule violators

Gulf News

Soon, a ‘Robocop’ will issue fines to violators of rules set for electric scooters and bicycles in Dubai by using facial recognition and linking it with Emirates ID.  This was revealed when the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) began the trial phase of the smart robot in Jumeirah 3 beach area on Thursday.

00:00We will be starting from 3pm to 11pm during weekdays, and 5pm to 1am on weekends for the

00:2330 days.

00:24This is a trial period where we will be only doing a study of the AI detection to ensure

00:29the quality of the detection and information being monitored on an 8-hour basis during

00:38the operational time.

00:39There will be no fines at this point, we will not apply fines, however, the detection will

00:45be done for those violations for study purpose prior to the second phase launch if deemed

00:53successful.

00:54The robot features comprises of a camera that is monitored 24-7 with an AI base that will

01:01analyse that video imaging, and then based on the use cases it's trained for, it will

01:06automatically detect and only store, of course send to our servers where that violation will

01:13be only stored during that detection period.

01:18The other thing, there is also sensors for obstacle and movement and manoeuvring for

01:25safety purposes, around 1.5m motion sensor detector.

01:33The first trial period there will be no fine receiving, but later on we are looking at

01:38the facial recognition, maybe also looking at different technology by matching with other

01:45using eMERGE ID, APAS, so there are so many different technologies that this will be in

01:50the second phase study.

01:52After we confirm first the detection, accuracy, error rate lower for us to go to the next

02:00successful layer, because like you said, applying such a fine will cause complaints and maybe

02:07grievances, so to avoid having that much we want to make sure that first the data quality

02:13and accuracy is at high level before we move to the next levels.
