Robot Dogs Assist Mexican Police During Football World Cup - Guadalupe deploys robotic dogs to boost World Cup 2026 security measures

Guadalupe, a Mexican city hosting matches for the FIFA Men's World Cup 2026, has invested in high-tech security. Local authorities announced the purchase of 12 robotic dogs to assist police during the tournament. The machines will patrol key areas, helping with surveillance and crowd control.

The city spent 2.5 million pesos (around €122,000) on the robotic units. Mayor Héctor García explained that their main role is to support officers in dangerous situations, improving safety during confrontations.

The devices are equipped to handle challenging environments. One model can move through abandoned buildings, climb stairs, and broadcast instructions via a built-in loudspeaker. They also send live video feeds to police, allowing real-time monitoring of high-risk zones.

Authorities confirmed the deployment plan in late 2025, ahead of the summer tournament. The robotic dogs will operate alongside Mexican police, providing extra security for fans and residents.

The robotic dogs will be active during the World Cup, focusing on surveillance and emergency response. Their ability to access difficult areas and relay live footage aims to reduce risks for human officers. The city expects the technology to play a key role in maintaining order throughout the event.
