An eye-catching new traffic officer directs traffic at an intersection in the Jiujiang district, Wuhu, Anhui Province on January 8, 2026, on the eve of the sixth "Chinese People's Police Day." This is the province's first AI traffic management robot, "Wuyou Smart Police R001." Capable of performing standard traffic police gestures, it can also accurately identify and dissuade non-motorized vehicle traffic violations by issuing polite and patient voice reminders. Photo: VCG
