Thankyou Engadget, for bringing that little ray of sunshine into my day]]>Sep 28th 2006 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/Sep 28th 2006 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/Sep 28th 2006 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/ that is, if these robotic sentries would be willing to fire on their own kind.

Don't worry, they'll all be friends again in silicon heaven.]]>Sep 28th 2006 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/Sep 28th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/Sep 28th 2006 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/]]>Sep 28th 2006 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/
NK should send in Ninjas
US should send in Pirates

Then we could answer once and for all who would win in a fight: pirates, cyborgs, or ninjas.]]>Sep 28th 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/Sep 28th 2006 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/
"I for one, welcome our gun wielding voice recognizing overpriced overlords"


Oh, and just for good measure I’ll turn it into an apple fanboy post (I’m not a apple fanboy though i do own one) here goes: “If it runs windows it will have major security issues”


Now I’ve said everything that’s going to be said about this post….let’s move on to the next one shall we?

As long as it recognizes the phrase "don't shoot", i'm good.

Isn't there a UN mandate on armed robotics on the battlefield if I remember right? Also, perhaps isn't NOT such a far fetched idea to start talking "3 laws" protocols when devices like this are hitting the market.

Just a thought]]>Sep 28th 2006 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/
ED-209: Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.

Or if it's more like: If someone is acting suspicious, read their body language and see if they look nervous or out of place. If so, question them, and if their answer does not seem to fit the sitation, then demand ID and if they do not present the proper id, question them futher. If you do not like the answers or they seem evasive: Shoot them.]]>Sep 28th 2006 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/Sep 28th 2006 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/

The jokes here about Judgment Day are not far off. I do not feel comfortable having a robot make a decision to shoot and kill in one of the most volatile areas in the world. This really could start the apocalypse. Just my 2 cents, but I would rather have humans being stupid and staring each other down than robots giving us or them a reason to "push the button."]]>Sep 29th 2006 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/south-korean-gun-toting-sentries-to-protect-serve/a) robot sentry with a machine gun
b) a few dozen landmines hidden over the same stretch of ground?

At least the robot can be switched off (presumably).

Estimates of the number of landmines in the DMZ - somewhere between tens of thousands and millions:

Anyway, like that us face recognition system, this will not change anything. Humans can be brainwashed into acting just like a "extreme-predjudice" sentry. They actually already are. US and Israeli soldiers are killing civillians daily because the look or act "strange". Or just because they can.
And as Bob said, the area these will be used in already is as violent as it gets.

This will not make the world a better or worse place. It's just on bully showing of his new toys to tell the other bullies to keep away.

Seriously, though, these things aren't completely autonomous. They're remote controlled by a human operator, which means that people will still be killing people, not robots killing people.

This is actually a really good article about it...
