While this may not be as dramatic as Robocop , the Waukesha (Wisconsin) Police Department are in the process of implementing a wireless robot in certain tactical situations. The department has been working with students from the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) in developing a robot designed to function with both cellular and WiFi technologies and embedded with video capabilities, a Taser, and two-way communications. It certainly needs some work in order to meet expectations, but in situations such as search and recovery, this wireless robot might be a useful tool for emergency responders everywhere in the not-too-distant future.
