JAPANESE FIRM Secom has shown off a robot which it claims will not only detect burglars but follow them at speeds of 10 miles an hour.

Today's Nihon Keizai Shimbun reports that the machine, which weighs 120 kilogrammes, uses a car battery and will pursue intruders for up to 24 kilometres.

The report said that the robot can also billow out smoke, flash lights and make noises at the burglars.
real scary stuff...

    umm you aint gonna follow anything doing 10 mph... and you wont most certainly wont follow for 24k. Its not like the burglar is walking away. Most would get in a car and drive off and I hardly believe that they would speed away from the crime at a blistering 10 miles per hour.... :D

    all fear the crazy kung fu grip...

    I don't think that the robot is supposed to catch anyone, just chase them away. Then it doesn't have to move quickly to work.

    Edit

    That was probably a lost-in-translation remark. Makers of children's toy action figures in the US often have commercials with narrators saying things like "Comes with real Kung-Fu action grip!" so he was playing off of that :bigggrin:

    The only problem is that you'd just look at it and tell it to be-have baby and it'd leave you alone...
