Robots Being Tested for Use for Public Transport Security
The Land Transport Authority could soon be adding autonomous robots to its arsenal of security measures at transport nodes here. Transport nodes remain “attractive” targets to terrorists, said Dr Rohan Gunaratna, who heads the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at RSIS. He noted that in 2010, a marked map of Singapore’s MRT network was found in the home of a terror suspect killed in Indonesia, with the Orchard station circled.
