Snippet:
Venezuela’s Chacao municipality, in eastern Caracas, has introduced two robotic dogs named Turbo and Voltio as part of a new public security programme unveiled in March 2026. The AI-powered machines, presented by Mayor Gustavo Duque, are expected to patrol plazas and other public areas, especially at night, using high-resolution cameras and motion sensors to send live images back to the municipal command centre.
