Technology continues to redefine the contours of our societies, and Indonesia is not to be outdone. As it strives to modernize its police, the country recently unveiled a robotic police force during a parade in Jakarta. This initiative marks a major turning point in the use of technology to strengthen public security. With humanoid robots and robotic canine units, Indonesia is positioned at the forefront of security innovation. These robots, with advanced capacities such as facial recognition and surveillance, are already in service for various missions, ranging from traffic management to the detection of dangerous substances.
Advanced police robots in Indonesia
During the celebration of the 79th anniversary of the Indonesian national police, an impressive range of robotic technologies was presented. This event, which was held at the Jakarta National Monument, highlighted the digital transformation underway within the police. Among the machines on display were humanoid robots, robot dogs called I-K9, as well as units resembling tanks and agricultural robots.
Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, Brigadier General, explained that these robots are part of the force modernization strategy, capable of performing various tasks like scrolling, running, saluting and responding to riots. Humanoid robots are supposed to help facial recognition and surveillance of traffic offenses in a country known for its strict drugs. The robotic canine units, on the other hand, fulfill tasks similar to those of traditional police dogs, including the detection of dangerous substances.

These robots are fully equipped with police outfits, including berets and vests, and are intended to support missions such as the management of street brawls and the improvement of operational security. Polri has defined seven key functions for these robots, ranging from monitoring in dangerous areas to the collection of forensic evidence.
Global police automation
Globally, police forces gradually integrate robots into their operations for surveillance, maintenance and public security tasks. Robotic systems are designed and operate differently according to the specific needs and technological capacities of each country.

In the United States, terrestrial robots are deployed for demining, Swat operations and supervisor in high-risk situations. Drones are often used for air surveillance during major events, research and rescue operations, as well as traffic surveillance. Several cities have tested autonomous safety robots equipped with cameras and sensors in public spaces.
In China, robots piloted by AI are used for facial recognition, crowd surveillance and patrol in places with high crowds such as stations and airports. Dubai police introduced humanoid robots to interact with the public, help submit reports and provide information, With the aim that robots represent 25 % of the police force by 2030.

Ethical and confidentiality issues
Although the use of robots in the police offers safer options in dangerous situations and improves surveillance capacities, it also raises ethical and confidentiality issues. The global debate on the use of public security robots often focuses on privacy concerns, civil rights and potential implications for mass monitoring.
In countries like the United Kingdom, Japan and Singapore, robots are mainly used for demining, crowd management and dangerous material monitoring. Remote controlled vehicles help fight anti -terrorism, while drones support monitoring of crowds, traffic control and research operations. However, The prospects for omnipresent surveillance fuel growing reluctance as to the impact on individual privacy.
While technology continues to progress, the challenge for governments and police will be to balance the benefits of reinforced security with respect for individual freedoms and human rights.
A technological transformation into the march
The modernization of police forces thanks to robotic technology is undeniably underway. Indonesia, by adopting these advanced technologies, shows the way for other nations. However, this transformation raises essential questions on the future of maintaining order and the place of humans in these new dynamics. How can societies guarantee that these technological advances serve the common good without compromising the fundamental values of human rights?
