Speaking about the robot, Assistant Deputy General of Police Manoj Abraham, in-charge of cyberdome said that the robot would give information about all the services available at the Kerala police headquarters

"The robot, which is modelled after a woman police inspector, would give information about all services available at the police headquarters. The robot would be able to identify and guide a visitor to the department concerned. The robot would also inquire about the details of the visitors and record their complaints. Besides, the robot would be able to remember a person who had visited the facility in the past," he said.

As per reports, a system to detect explosives is also going to be installed in the humanoid in the upcoming future. Furthermore, a system which would identify and salute the senior police officers is also going to be installed.

The KP-Bot currently would issue the identity cards to the visitors to the police station and allot time to them for their meeting with the police officers.
