The armed and dangerous vaccuum cleaner
I suppose it was inevitable that iRobot would try to break into the market building security and fighting bots: They do supply machines to the military after all. But it seems like making TASER-armed RoboCops might be a little out of their league.
From the AP:
RoboCops and robot soldiers got a little closer to reality Thursday as a maker of floor-cleaning automatons teamed up with a stun-gun manufacturer to arm track-wheeled ‘bots for the police and the Pentagon.
By adding Tasers to robots it already makes for the military, iRobot Corp. says it hopes to give soldiers and law enforcement a defensive, non-lethal tool.
