90-day trial of 3 "Jail Bots" with surveillance features at Cobb County detention center.

The Cobb County Sheriff's Office in Georgia has launched a 90-day trial of three DEKA Sentry Robots, known as "Jail Bots," to enhance security at its detention center. Standing nearly 6 feet tall, these robots are equipped with 360-degree cameras, night vision, and heat detection to assist with surveillance, headcounts, and monitoring inmate safety. They aim to support, not replace, staff, with potential future upgrades including AI capabilities for detecting issues.
