Singapore's Public Utilities Board is deploying a robot to encourage people wandering the outdoor parks of the densely populated Asian metropolis to social distance, and "stay safe, stay home".

The robot is named O-R3, and its task is to help Singapore curb the spread of Covid-19.

Oh yeah, it also shares data with public health officers through its on-board 360-degree always-on surveillance camera.

The Singapore PUB used the talking robot previously security surveillance at various reservoirs across the island state, but the coronavirus distancing surveillance and compliance role is new.

It is remotely-controlled, with a 1-kilometer battery life which authorities say they're expanding to 4 km.
