Goodbye job. A robot that doesn't need to sleep, eat, or be checked on to see if all rounds were completed.

Ah, but the robot can't think or act for itself and certainly cannot replace a real person, just as a stationary camera cannot.Originally posted by Mr. SecurityGoodbye job.

I can see this being useful as a device for detecting bombs and contraband."We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved. However, since this is your third time being late to work, we are terminating your employment here."Comment

Yes, but it would have improvements over WBS guards because it doesn't require bathing and therefore can't stink, it doesn't leave property to eat or use the bathroom, and it doesn't march into the office and loudly demand a payraise while shouting threats.Originally posted by Mr. SecurityIn that case, it will be perfect for WBS."We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved.

Not to mention, it can fill out perfectly prescribed reports, not pick its nose in front of people, or complain about the job to the general public."We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved.

Honda, Toshiba, and Hyundai all make security robots. Only one I know of is armed with a taser weapon to engage intruders. These are designed to replace static posts that have only a need of passive observation.Some Kind of Commando Leader

No, really. Plucking nose hairs and scratching your rear are also no-nos.Originally posted by Mr. SecurityYou mean we're not supposed to do that?"We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved.
