>He added that in the future more such technologies will come into being for public safety.
>Previously, [robotic ](https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/15-engineers-and-their-inventions-that-defined-robotics)technology has been used to help in different tasks which help in keeping communities safe and secure. Research states that robots can be used for rescue operations, bomb disposal, surveillance, and disaster management.

They’re not aware of the knights of the ku Klux Klan?
