Police have touted the so-called “digidog” for its ability to evaluate the safety of a scene, such as a hostage situation, and make officers aware of any potential threats before going in themselves.Facing scrutiny of the tool, department officials have countered that robots have been used to assess dangerous situations and diffuse bombs for decades.
