In a scene right out of Black Mirror, police in China have rolled out the newest innovation in autonomous AI-powered street crime fighting: A spherical, virtually indestructible, amphibious, heavily armed device that resembles a giant bowling ball.

The RT-G, manufactured by Shenzhen-based Logon Technology Co., Ltd., is the Swiss Army knife of crime-busting technology.

According to reports, the robot is driven by AI, which can help it ID suspects via facial recognition and notify law enforcement of suspicious activity, and it has an onboard arsenal that includes tear gas sprayers, an extremely loud sound-wave dispersal horn, and even a gun that can entrap a suspect with a net. It can supposedly withstand an impact of up to four tons.

A number of videos posted on social networks this week have gone viral, showing the robot patrolling streets in various smaller Chinese cities.

On TikTok, Peoples Daily, China’s official state-run medium, uploaded a video of a human SWAT team marching alongside the killer bowling ball in the coastal town of Wenzhou, China. Also featured was a far less menacing-looking robot dog.
