Remote-controlled shooting robot guard

One of five robots funded by the Thailand Research Fund "is armed with a pistol that can be programmed to shoot automatically or wait for a fire order delivered with a password from anywhere through the Internet." If it didn't have a pistol a robot controlled via the Net would not be news, but it will be interesting to see if the concept develops into anything more commercial. (via Slashdot)
