Korea's Center for Intelligent Robots is creating a 40 member panel to
discuss the feasiblilty of creating robotic security forces for the nation.
``If the robots prove to be viable technically
and commercially, we will be able to begin developing them late next
year,'' said Lee Ho-gil, head of the center.
But that's not all! In a move akin to the US Military's
Future Combat Systems, Korea plans to network the devices on its expansive 3G network, thereby distributing the smarts and making each RoboCop unit
a mindless killing unit just a mechanical shell with just enough smarts to control its motion. There's also plans for other robots that, "will take the shape of a dog or a horse, with six or eight legs or wheels."
I'm assuming the Korean's haven't heard of
Skynet.
