Hiromoon, were you aware of this little toy?

Samsung Techwin’s SGR-A1 robot sentry. It reminds me (horrifically) of the ED-209 from Robocop, without legs (that way it can't trip down a flight of stairs :lol: ). I say it reminds me of it, but not in a visual sense. It's more in the way they say it is autonomous and can recognize you (maybe) raising your hands in surrender.

I can still remember that phrase so long ago...
"Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply." :wink:

Note you can see the eyepiece on his chest, just behind the stock of his weapon. I think the eyepiece is pretty clever - it reduces the amount of crap you carry around on your head, allows you to access the system selectively (rather than having the data presented to you all the time, which might lead to fatigue or sloppiness due to routine) and doesn't require an exposed wire like the US or French systems in that same picture. As an added advantage, given the Dutch military's emphasis on peacekeeping and maintaining good relations with the local population, this system doesn't look very "robocop".
