In photos - The Halifax Regional Police robot received a new name today, thanks to a thoughtful request from a young Halifax boy who wanted it to have a name
Cam Mamye, 11, first met officers and the police robot three years ago as a participant in the Accessible Easter Egg Hunt for children who are blind or have low vision.
Each year, Cam returns to the event and continues to take a special interest in the robot. This interest has led him to make a special request to Halifax Regional Police to name the robot.
The Halifax Regional Police robot is an MK3 Caliber robot. It is used for remote handling of suspicious items, disposal of explosives, delivering and retrieving items safely, and as a tool for safely gathering information about a scene or communicating with suspects and/or victims.
Today, Cam joined Halifax Regional Police at Headquarters and unveiled the name he has chosen for the robot. That name is "Robbie the Robot"
And a big happy birthday to Cam!
