The East Coast Railway (ECoR) unveiled an AI-powered robotic surveillance platform, DSC ARJUN, at Puri railway station ahead of the Bahuda Yatra on July 24 to enhance passenger safety. Developed to assist Railway Protection Force personnel, the robot uses AI, computer vision, machine learning, and IoT technologies for features like facial recognition, crowd analytics, unattended baggage detection, and real-time alerts. Initially deployed in Puri, it may later be moved to Bhubaneswar station as part of ongoing railway security enhancements.
