Security Robots. Stores across Japan started taking orders on Thursday for the Roborior — a watermelon-sized eyeball on wheels that glows purple, blue and orange — continuing the country's love affair with gadgets.

I just have one question.
Is it armed?Tmsuk has already produced a four-legged security robot called Banryu, which is about the size of a large dog and sells for $18,000.
But can it bite or just bark?
