A Thai company has developed a security robot that can shoot criminals.
According to the company: "It is armed with a pistol that can be programmed to shoot automatically or wait for a fire order delivered with a password from anywhere through the Internet."
According to Assistant Professor Pitikhet Suraksa of the King Mongkut Institute of Technology's Lat Krabang campus where the robot was developed, "the robot is equipped with a camera and sensors that track movement and heat. With further development the technology could be applied to building robot guards for important places, including museums that house precious artifacts."
