South Korea Deploys Killer Robot In DMZ 243
shikaisi writes "Not content with just killing people in computer games, South Korea has gone one better and is deploying remotely controlled sentry robots on the border with the north. According to the article 'If the command centre operator cannot identify possible intruders through the robot's audio or video communications system, the operator can order it to fire its gun or 40mm automatic grenade launcher.'"

This actually was South Korea's doing. I severely doubt North Korea can spare the tech - I think they're putting all of their efforts into project "Nuke-Seoul-and-DC-on-Glorious-Leader's-Birthday"

Nice try, but the North Koreans will just send wave after wave of their own men at the killbots until they reached their pre-programmed kill limit of 999,999.

Wouldn't it make more sense to fire the guns and grenades if the operator does identify intruders?
"Hey, I don't see anybody around, FIRE THE GUNS!" and "Look, it's an intruder, CEASE FIRE!" doesn't make a lot of sense.
