Super Terrific Korean Thing: Killer @#$%ing Robots

?From the UK Telegraph:

Two robots with surveillance, tracking, firing
and voice recognition systems were integrated into a single unit, a
defence ministry spokesman said [Ed’s note: Artist simulation above].

The 400 million won (?220,000) unit was
installed last month at a guard post in the central section of the
Demilitarised Zone which bisects the peninsula, Yonhap news agency said.

It quoted an unidentified military official as
saying the ministry would deploy sentry robots along the world’s last
Cold War frontier if the test was successful.

The robot uses heat
and motion detectors to sense possible threats, and alerts command
centres, Yonhap said.

If the command centre operator cannot
identify possible intruders through the robot’s audio or video
communications system, the operator can order it to fire its gun or 40mm
automatic grenade launcher.

South Korea is also developing highly
sophisticated combat robots armed with weapons and sensors that could
complement human soldiers on battlefields.

The zombies are really going to have to step up their game if they want their apocalypse to beat the robot apocalypse. Thanks to Charles S. for the tip.
