Maybe not all robots but these traffic cops definitely want safe roads.

These giant solar-powered robots were watching over streets in the city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.

The robo-cops let drivers know when it's safe to go by using red and green lights on their rotating arms.

They also have security cameras on them, which allow the police to keep an eye on the roads and make sure there's no trouble.
