COBB COUNTY, Ga. — The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office is adding robots it says will revolutionize security at the jail.
Officials say these robots will help them step into the future of law enforcement. The robots will help monitor the perimeter of the jail and and do security rounds in certain parts of the jail.
The robots will be created in partnership with DEKA Research & Development Corporation, which has innovated in robotics.
