The New York Police Department’s high-tech experiment involving the Knightscope K5 robot at the Times Square subway station has come to an end. The 400-pound machine was deployed in a pilot last year to enhance commuter safety but had limited practical capabilities.

NYC ends trial run of Times Square subway’s security robot
Key Points:
- The Knightscope K5’s pilot deployment in the NYC subway system has concluded, with the robot lacking actual useful capabilities for on-site situations.
- Despite being equipped with cameras and a button to contact a live agent, the machine’s inability to navigate stairs or perform physical tasks led to its limited effectiveness during the two-month trial run.
- Concerns over potential surveillance capabilities were raised, although the robot’s future use for such purposes remains uncertain as New York officials evaluate its lease for other uses.
