Security Robots. 

Quote
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.

Roborior can function as interior decor, but also as a virtual guard dog that can sense break-ins using infrared sensors, notify homeowners by calling their cellular phones, and send the owner's cell phone videos from its digital camera.


I just have one question.  Is it armed?

Quote
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?
