The surrounding streets were blocked, and staff temporarily moved out while the robot headed toward the suspicious object. Identifying the type of threats (explosives, chemicals, etc.) is important to assess the measures, and the special forces in the London Police used the remotely controlled robot to examine the scenes and diagnose the situations through the camera. The safety has been confirmed soon at this time. The robot proved it could minimize potential human damage by approaching to sources of hazards before any human approach for safety cautions.
