# Crabby Police Bots The CRAB Robot Could Possibly Police a Futuristic London By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-robot References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/crab-robot-to-revolutionize-policing-in-london/) & [diseno-art](http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/strange_vehicles/crab_robot.html) As though straight out of a [sci-fi film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid), the CRAB robot (Cybernetic Autonomous Remote Barricade) is a futuristic alternative to traditional policing tactics in London. As only a concept, it was designed for Dalton/[Stanley](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dewalt-powerstack), a fictional weapons and armaments company. The brainchild of Jamie Martin, the CRAB robot operates on [six legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civ-robotics) in order to provide easy transport on various terrains. Not only does it boast the latest arms and ammunition, it's also capable of artificial intelligence in order to judge complex situations appropriately. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Autonomous Police Robots:** The development of autonomous police robots presents a disruptive innovation opportunity that improves policing and safety measures. - **Artificial Intelligence in Law Enforcement:** The increased use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement presents a disruptive innovation opportunity that enhances the accuracy and efficiency of policing tactics. - **Futuristic Weapons and Armaments:** The advancement of futuristic weapons and armaments presents a disruptive innovation opportunity that enhances the capabilities and effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. ### Where This Applies - **Robotics Industry:** The robotics industry can capitalize on the development of autonomous police robots that provide efficient and effective policing solutions. - **Artificial Intelligence Industry:** The artificial intelligence industry can capitalize on the increasing use of AI in law enforcement to develop sophisticated and accurate policing solutions. - **Defense Industry:** The defense industry can capitalize on the advancement of futuristic weapons and armaments to provide better protection and safety measures for law enforcement agencies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contraband-Detecting Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narc-robot-concept.md) - [Dog-Inspired Surveillance Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-dog-concept.md) - [Produce-Harvesting Six-Armed Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexapod-pro.md) - [Coastal Erosion Prevention Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sand-robot-concept.md) - [Autonomous Mine Detection Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mine-detector-robot.md) - [Roving Security Surveillance Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rbwatcher.md) - [Autonomous Aquafarming Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivation-robot.md) - [Bio-Inspired Guard Dog Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyberdog-2.md) - [Sea Urchin-Sucking Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-robot.md)
