Detroit, Michigan, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that on Saturday, August 10th, RADDOG took center stage at the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Michigan. This remarkable quadruped robot dog, already a beloved member of the Taylor Police Department, thrilled the crowd by delivering the ceremonial first pitch baseball to the pitcher's mound.

Since joining the Taylor Police Department, RADDOG has excelled in its dual role as both an operational asset and a community outreach ambassador. Equipped with advanced AI-driven capabilities, RADDOG supports law enforcement by performing routine patrols, surveillance tasks, and providing an additional layer of safety for officers and the public alike. Beyond its operational duties, RADDOG has become a fixture at community events, parades, and public gatherings, where it engages with citizens, fosters positive relationships, and enhances the department's connection with the community. This unique combination of cutting-edge technology and community presence makes RADDOG an invaluable resource for law enforcement agencies looking to strengthen both their operational effectiveness and community ties.
“If only I had longer arms and opposable thumbs, I’d have thrown that first pitch myself! But with four legs and a heart full of enthusiasm, I was more than happy to deliver the ball to the mound and be part of the action,” said RADDOG, as imagined by RAD's creative team.
Troy McCanna, RAD’s Chief Security Officer and former FBI senior agent in charge of tactical operations in Michigan and Ohio commented, “RADDOG represents a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and approachability that helps bridge the gap between the public’s perception of law enforcement tools and the need for these tools to be seen as friendly, safe, and helpful. At RAD, we’ve seen firsthand how RADDOG can engage communities in a positive way, while still serving as a highly effective operational asset. We encourage law enforcement agencies to consider enlisting RADDOG as a way to strengthen their connection with the communities they serve, fostering trust and cooperation while enhancing public safety.”
RAD invites law enforcement agencies nationwide to experience the benefits of RADDOG firsthand. Whether it's enhancing public safety or delighting a crowd, RADDOG is ready to be the star of your next community event. Interested parties should email info@raddog.ai.
