新加坡：执行爆炸后调查的警察和搜查囚犯牢房的监狱官员，最早可能在2028年得到人形机器人的协助。
SINGAPORE: Police officers conducting post-blast investigations and prison officers searching through inmates’ cells could soon be assisted by humanoid robots as early as 2028.
这些能力正在位于一号北（One-North）的国内安全部队人形机器人中心（H2RC）进行开发和测试，该中心于周三（9月30日）正式启用。
These are among the capabilities being developed and tested at the Home Team Humanoid Robotics Centre (H2RC) in One-North, which was officially opened on Wednesday (Sep 30).
内政部第二部长兼法律部长黄循财在启动仪式上表示：“我们的目标很明确。我们旨在到2028年，让首个人形机器人在真实的作业环境中与国内安全部队官员并肩工作，安全、可靠地执行既定任务。”
“Our goal is clear. We aim to have the first humanoid robot working alongside Home Team officers in a real operational setting, performing defined tasks safely and reliably by 2028,” said Second Minister for Home Affairs Edwin Tong at the launch.
黄循财补充说，H2RC是首个专门针对公共安全领域人形机器人的中心。
The H2RC is the first centre of its kind dedicated specifically to humanoid robotics for public safety, added Mr Tong, who is also law minister.

国内安全部队科学技术局（HTX）在一份媒体声明中表示，选择人形形态是因为其能够适应为人类设计的环境。
The humanoid form was chosen for its ability to adapt to environments designed for humans, the Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) said in a media release.
该机构指出：“虽然商业部门主要专注于训练用于制造业、家庭及消费应用的人形机器人，但在推进满足公共安全需求的具身人工智能解决方案方面，关注度相对较低。”
“While the commercial sector is primarily focused on training humanoid robots for manufacturing, household and consumer applications, there is less focus on advancing embodied AI solutions for public safety needs,” said the agency.
H2RC的面积大约相当于六个篮球场，提供了设置逼真环境和详细公共安全场景模型的空间，使工程师能够进行测试并收集数据。
Roughly the size of six basketball courts, the H2RC provides the space to set up realistic environments and detailed mock-ups of public safety scenarios that let engineers run tests and collect data.
该中心支持端到端的具身人工智能（AI）开发周期，包括用于开发人形运动技能的动捕系统、远程操作、人类演示以及生成训练数据的模拟。
It supports the end-to-end embodied artificial intelligence (AI) development cycle, including motion-capture systems that develop humanoid motor skills, teleoperation, human demonstration and simulation that generates training data.
黄循财在演讲中表示，多年来，国内安全部队一直利用科学技术来提升态势感知能力、改善决策并支持一线官员。
In his speech, Mr Tong said the Home Team has over the years used science and technology to boost situational awareness, improve decision-making and support officers on the ground.
“现在，我认为我们应该考虑下一步：将人工智能从数字世界带入现实世界，通过智能机器人让它们能够在实际操作环境中与我们的工作人员并肩工作，”他说。
“Now I think it's time for us to think about taking the next leap to bring AI out of the digital world and into the physical world, through intelligent robots that can work alongside our officers in real operational environments,” he said.
2026年9月24日，在“Home Team Humanoid Robotics Centre”（H2RC），一台人形机器人正在模拟危险物质采样任务，其动作精准地模仿了操作员的灵巧手部动作。

这些人形机器人的潜在应用： HTX表示：“这些人形机器人将被训练用来协助工作人员完成那些需要体力消耗大或具有危险性的常规任务，从而使工作人员能够专注于那些需要判断力、同理心和谨慎处理的工作，同时确保他们的安全。”在周三的发布会上，HTX展示了四款正在研发中的人形机器人：
POTENTIAL HOME TEAM USES“Humanoids will be trained to augment human officers in carrying out routine, physically demanding or dangerous tasks, allowing officers to focus on work that requires judgement, empathy and discretion, while at the same time, keeping them safe,” said HTX. At Wednesday's launch, it displayed four humanoid robots that are being developed.
其中一款专为新加坡民防部队（SCDF）设计，可用于危险物质的控制、处理和采样工作，从而减少工作人员接触危险物质的风险；
They included one that can handle the containment, mitigation and sampling of hazardous materials (HazMat) for the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), reducing officer exposure to dangerous substances.
另一款则可用于协助新加坡警察部队（SPF）在爆炸后的不稳定、肮脏且危险的环境中进行调查；
这款机器人还具备通过遥控器进行控制的功能；
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) could also be assisted in post-blast investigations in the unstable, dirty and dangerous aftermath of an explosion, through a humanoid that can be controlled via a remote controller.
根据HTX的介绍，这款机器人还能下蹲——这是市面上现有人形机器人所不具备的能力，使其能够靠近地面执行任务。
The robot is also able to kneel – something which is beyond the capabilities of commercial off-the-shelf humanoids – which lets it perform tasks close to the ground, according to HTX.
HTX还表示，未来还将进一步研究这些人形机器人是否能够被新加坡监狱服务部门（SPS）用于搜查囚室中的违禁品。

“这些机器人所需的灵巧手部动作、精细的运动控制能力以及高分辨率的触觉感应技术，都是实现这些任务的关键。”
Humanoid robots could also be used by the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) for cell searches for contraband, by leveraging detection capabilities to enhance the thoroughness and effectiveness of inspections.
最后，新加坡消防局（SCDF）观察到人形机器人正在执行为救护车补充医疗物资这一常规且重复性的任务。
The “dexterous humanoid hands, fine motor control, and high-resolution tactile sensing” needed for the task will be explored moving forward, said HTX.
关于新加坡的人力资源与土地资源限制，汤先生表示，全球的公共安全机构都在利用技术来提升工作人员的安全性。例如，2019年巴黎的消防员将机器人送入了燃烧中的巴黎圣母院；在福岛核电站的清理工作中，机器人也在放射性环境中发挥了重要作用——这些环境本是人类无法进入的。
Lastly, the SCDF could see humanoid robots perform the routine and repetitive task of restocking medical supplies for ambulances. SINGAPORE’S MANPOWER, LAND CONSTRAINTS Mr Tong said that public safety agencies globally are harnessing technology to improve safety for officers. For instance, firefighters in Paris sent a robot into the burning Notre-Dame Cathedral in 2019, and robots assisted in the Fukushima nuclear plant clean-up, operating in radioactive environments where no humans should go, he said.
汤先生指出，在新加坡这种人力资源有限的情况下，这种技术的应用尤为重要。由于当地劳动力正在老龄化，且未来这一趋势会进一步加速，因此对相关服务的需求将持续增长。
Such adoption is especially crucial amid manpower limitations in Singapore, with a workforce that is ageing and will only grow older more quickly in the years ahead, said Mr Tong.
2026年9月24日，在“家庭团队人形机器人中心”（Home Team Humanoid Robotics Centre, H2RC），一台人形机器人正在评估并识别面前的各种物体，然后执行相应的任务。

“新加坡的人力资源与其他行业一样有限，但对我们服务的需求却在不断增加。随着人口老龄化、检查点工作量增加以及犯罪手段的复杂化，医疗紧急情况将不可避免地增多。仅靠增加人手是无法解决这些问题的，”汤先生说道。
“The Home Team draws from the same limited pool as every other sector. Human resource in Singapore is finite, yet the demand for our services keeps rising. More medical emergencies will be inevitable from an older population, busier checkpoints, which we see, more complex crimes. And we can't solve this with sheer numbers alone,” he said.
土地资源的限制也是一个重要因素——新加坡的城市环境特点是“高楼林立、人口密集，且许多设施都位于地下”。
Land constraints are another factor, as emergencies here unfold in a “dense, high-rise, densely populated, as well as close-proximity, increasingly underground city”.
“我们没有足够的空间或距离来应对紧急情况；因此，事故往往发生在拥挤的空间内，且离人们非常近。在这种情况下，几乎没有任何容错的空间。同时，我们必须迅速、准确地处理这些事件，以防止威胁进一步恶化或扩散，”汤先生强调。
“We don't have the luxury of having vast space or distance between one infrastructure to another, and incidents therefore often happen in tight spaces, close to people. "Very often, these two factors mean that there's little, if not no, margin for error. At the same time, these incidents must be resolved quickly and precisely before the threat evolves or spreads,” said Mr Tong.
汤先生解释说，之所以选择人形机器人，是因为“这种具有人类形态的机器人能够进入我们的工作人员能够到达的地方，并使用他们使用的工具，而无需我们重新设计周围的环境。”
Mr Tong said that humanoids were chosen because “a robot with a human form can go where our officers can go, and use the tools that our officers use, without ourselves having to redesign the environment around it”.
他说，下一步是超越预编程机器人，迈向具身人工智能，让机器人能够在动态的现实环境中学习、感知、推理和行动。
The next step is to move beyond preprogrammed robots towards embodied AI, with robots that can learn, perceive, reason and act in dynamic, real-world environments, he said.
2026年9月24日，在内政团队人形机器人中心（H2RC），一台内政团队人形机器人的动作由人类通过虚拟现实设备进行远程临场控制。
A Home Team humanoid robot's movements is controlled by the telepresence of a human using a virtual reality set at the Home Team Humanoid Robotics Centre (H2RC) on Sep 24, 2026.
“但一台为工厂车间训练的机器人，不会知道如何在危急事件现场安全有效地运作，”唐先生说。
“But a robot trained for a factory floor will not know how to operate safely and effectively at a critical incident scene,” said Mr Tong.
“因此，要让人形机器人服务于内政团队，我们必须用真实的公共安全数据来训练它们。这正是H2RC将使我们能够做到的。”唐先生说，H2RC还将汇聚相关行业实体的专业知识，以及研究和学术机构解决问题的专长。
“To make humanoids work for the Home Team, we must therefore train them with real public safety data. That is precisely what H2RC will enable us to do.”H2RC will also bring together the expertise of relevant industry entities and the problem-solving know-how of research and academic institutions, said Mr Tong.
周三，HTX与ST Engineering还签署了一份谅解备忘录，以推进双方在该领域的合作。
On Wednesday, HTX and ST Engineering also signed a memorandum of understanding to further their cooperation in the sector.
