Here's what we need - Robot Machine Guns

[Bill]

All the great new innovations are coming from the East now - the koreans have invented a robotic machine gun sentry.

Thats what we need in Iraq - robot hummers topped with robot machine guns pointing in all directions. I'll bet the Carlyle Group is just kicking VPs all over the offices about this one.

Samsung has partnered with Korea University to develop a machine-gun equipped sentry robot, which consists of “two cameras: one for day-time and one for infrared night vision, zooming capabilities, a speaker for notifying the intruder, sophisticated pattern recognition to detect the difference between humans/trees, and a 5.5mm machine-gun.

"To further ease relations" between north and south korea? To hell with that, more like scare the crap out of the north korean border soldiers.

I'll bet it would be cheaper to line the border with those robots than building a fense.
Also more effective

Makes me think of a documentary I saw about the last test pilot. The plane was so complex, and fast it required a computer to land it. Picture a jet fighter going +200mph, while standing on it's tail a couple of feet above the runway.

The North Koreans would probably just bombard the area with all that heavy artillery that they have, so I doubt it would work. The robots might be good in any case just to slow them down.

Wow!! Cool!! I want one.

I'll put it in my garage to keep bike thieves from stealing
my motorcycle.

I wonder if the Koreans got the idea from watching Robocop?
