Korean Robot Army

Wednesday, January 18. 2006

Korea is starting development of a collection of robots to do various public support functions:

By the 2010s, Korea is expecting to see robots assisting police and the military, patrolling the neighborhoods and going on recon missions on the battlefield.

They are taking a route which seems obviously as a first step into the common SciFi theme of remote controlled armies of robots. Instead of going the fully autonomous route, they are planning to do wireless control of the robots from a central AI system through their vast wireless network. This is one of the first thoughts I had when I was reading about the Lego NXT toy which has a wireless connection. How cool would it be to move the smart control aspects to your home PC.
