Xavier operates autonomously and moves through the crowds at Toa Payoh Central, seeking what authorities consider unwanted social behavior.

The robot-looking behaviors include people smoking in restricted areas, illegally parked bicycles at the Hgb Hub, people gathering in groups of more than five, and motorized use on sidewalks.

If the robot encounters any of these activities, it sends real-time alerts to the command and control center that monitors the robot's operation. The robot also displays a message to warn the public, to educate the public and prevent unwanted activities.

The aim of the project is to support the police and reduce the number required for pedestrian patrols.

For its autonomous navigation, the Xavier has too many sensors and safety features that allow it to operate without human supervision and enable it to avoid obstacles and pedestrians. The policemen define his patrol route in advance. The robot's cameras send streaming 360-degree video to the command and control center.

The cameras support IR and LED lighting with features that allow them to have and video in the dark or in low-light conditions. Images are streamed to a video analysis system that leverages artificial intelligence.
