The Reality Reports

A Robot Joins The Street Patrol: In September 2021, people walking through Toa Payoh Central in Singapore encountered an unusual sight. An autonomous ground robot named Xavier was moving through the busy public area. It was part of a three-week government trial designed to support public officers responsible for public health and safety. Xavier began its trial on September 5, 2021. The project involved five Singapore government agencies, including the Home Team Science and Technology Agency, National Environment Agency, Land Transport Authority, Singapore Food Agency, and Housing & Development Board. Xavier itself was developed by HTX in partnership with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research.

History And Location: The Fountain of Wealth is one of Singapore’s most famous landmarks. Built in 1995, it sits at the heart of Suntec City, a massive shopping and business complex in the busy Marina Bay district.  This fountain is not just a pretty sight; it holds the Guinness World Record as the largest fountain in the world, a title it earned in 1998.  The fountain is easy to find, located near major subway stations like Promenade and City Hall.
