Tmsuk's New Security Robot Nets Intruders

 Robot company Tmsuk announced a new security robot called T-34. The robot will alert you on your cell phone if it senses something wrong. You can see through its camera and operate with your cell phone. A joint development with security firm Alacom.

 T-34 can move at 10km per hour and can launch a net to capture the intruder. Check out the videos on Robot Watch to see how the capture works. This Net Launcher product from Nippon Koki is actually interestingIt was initially developed for nightwatches at schools (yes, in Japan there is usually a man staying overnight at each school - even public schools - that patrol during the night). You hold it like a flash light and push a button to launch the net.

 Although, according to the Robot Watch article, it's a little tricky to operate this because there's a 0.8 second time lag between what's really happening and what's on your cell phone screen. Plans are to commercialize it by the end of this year at around 500,000 yen. Photo below borrowed from Robot Watch.
