Nearly a year after Mayor Eric Adams first rolled out the Knightscope K5, a 400-pound police robot, in the Times Square subway station, his office revealed on Tuesday that his administration still has not found a use for the technology he once touted as a powerful crime-fighting tool.
K5 was last seen collecting dust inside a storefront at the Times Square station in February. That followed the completion of a pilot program, where the surveillance droid — accompanied by two cops — made the rounds on the station’s mezzanine over a two-month period that began late last September.
