Detroit, Michigan, June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), announced that it will be hosting ‘Police Day’, a hands-on event for law enforcement agencies and first responders. The event will be held at the Company’s manufacturing facility, the ‘REX’, located in Ferndale, Michigan on Thursday July 13, 2023, from 10:00am to 11:30am ET.
The event is meant to showcase the RADDOG family of robots to area law enforcement personnel that may be considering adding advanced robotics to their force. RAD recently announced that it is taking pre-orders for RADDOG 2LE, specifically designed for law enforcement applications. RADDOG 2LE is a critical evolution of quadruped robotics positioned to improve the capabilities of law enforcement agencies and enable them to apply practical robotics for a variety of tasks. With its agile quadruped (four-legged) design and cutting-edge external accessories, RADDOG 2LE empowers officers to conquer challenging terrain, reach inaccessible areas, and navigate through dangerous environments.
RAD is also expected to introduce RADDOG 1LE at the Police Day event. This unit includes RAD’s RADPack™ on a smaller quadruped and will have an entry-level price point that is expected to be accessible to most law enforcement agencies.
Troy McCanna, RAD's Chief Security Officer and a former FBI Agent with extensive experience as a Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force Coordinator/Supervisor, commented on the event, "RADDOG is the force-multiplier that I wish I had by my side during my time in service. At the Police Day event, I look forward to presenting RADDOG to my former colleagues. Their early response to the dog’s availability has been overwhelming. Now they’ll have a chance to see it up close and even operate it."
Detroit area law enforcement agencies and other first responders are encouraged to attend. To register for the event, please visit www.tinyurl.com/hts36w5r. The event is closed to the public, only approved registered guests may attend.
The RADDOG quadruped (dog-style) robots used in the show are similar to RADDOG 2LE units. The “Stars on Mars” RADDOGs perform the duties of the mission's security robots, executing field reconnaissance and surveillance, as well as being companions to the crew members.
RAD’s proprietary RADPack on RADDOG 2LE, and the highly anticipated RADDOG 1LE, offers unique features, specifically including an interactive touch screen located at the front of the quadruped. This interface facilitates smooth, high-definition video communication between remote law enforcement officers and individuals within the robot's vicinity. Complemented by integrated microphones, powerful audio speakers, and front headlights, the RADDOG family of robots for law enforcement possesses an array of capabilities to effectively engage with and capture the attention of those it may confront.
"I am so proud of all that we’ve designed into RADDOG that I can’t wait to present it to our esteemed guests at Police Day," said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “We are planning on making this an amazing event where law enforcement personnel can fully review all of RADDOG’s capabilities, features and costs and be in the position to place their initial orders."
RADDOG 2LE is scheduled to begin shipping in late July. Complete specifics of its capabilities, features and other details can be found at www.raddog.ai and www.radsecurity.com.
