The robots are designed to strengthen surveillance, ministry spokesman Shin Hyun-don told reporters.
...Hundreds of thousands of troops patrol the frontier, which has been closed since the Korean War ended in 1953.
The defence ministry said on Friday that it would complete a feasibility study of the planned system by the end of 2005, and the robots could be in operation as early as 2011.
Operating system by… Microsoft? Let’s give Microsoft a robot army with guns and live ammo.
Or even if Microsoft is left out of it… let’s just have a bunch of robots with guns walking around. Surely no hacker would ever be able to hack those systems.
Oh man. Paging Tom Clancy. Paging James Cameron. Paging Steven Spielberg.
BTW, if you want to see an excellent movie set on the border between North and South Korea, consider Joint Security Area. It’s a mystery with some action, powered by a great script.
