A robot dog 

This machine was made by a company called Boston Dynamics. It is fitted with a camera to monitor how busy Bishan Ang Moh Kio Park is.
It also carries a loudspeaker to broadcast social distancing messages. The robot dog is being used on a trial basis by the National Parks Board and the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group in Singapore to see if it makes a difference in helping to control the spread of the disease. According to Lonely Planet it can even sense how many people are around so it can make a pre recorded announcement about observing safe distances.
