A robot police officer is controlling traffic at a busy junction in China.

Aimoga Robotics has deployed the intelligent traffic policing robot, Intelligent Police Unit R001, at the intersection of Zhongjiang Avenue and Chizhu Mountain Road in Wuhu. The deployment brings humanoid robotics from pilot testing into frontline urban operations.

Wearing the badge ZhiJing R001, the robot is stationed on a traffic island and performs standard hand signals with stable motion. Built to collaborate with on-site officers, R001 supports traffic flow and roadside order, allowing human officers to focus on complex situations.

It is the first purpose-built humanoid in Aimoga’s policing line. At this stage, it focuses on traffic guidance and behavioural reminders, especially for non-motorised vehicles. Integrated with urban signal systems, it can detect irregular behaviour and deliver polite, standard prompts. Core capabilities include autonomous mobility for fixed posts, high-definition road monitoring and multi-modal perception for reliable operation in dense traffic environments.

Intersections expose officers to extreme weather, exhaust fumes and noise. The robot undertakes repetitive, standard signalling at fixed intersections, supplementing on-site personnel. Continuous operation helps reduce physical strain while validating human-robot collaboration.

Aimoga follows scenario-driven development, with robots deployed across more than 100 environments. In 2025, the company delivered 300 humanoid robots and 1000 quadruped robots, completed a series A funding round, and achieved EU certification for hardware and software, operating in more than 30 countries and regions.

“Products that remain in the laboratory never truly mature,” said Zhang Guibing, general manager of Aimoga Robotics. “Real-world deployment is essential for achieving reliability.”

Aimoga (aimoga-robot.com) plans to develop the Intelligent Police series further to support emergency coordination and real-time public information services, reinforcing humanoid assistants in safer and more efficient urban traffic systems.
