A set of SGR-1 armed robots have been set up near the southern boundary of Korea's Demilitarized Zone on an experimental basis to see how well they complement the soldiers that keep an eye on the heavily fortified border between the North and South. The robot, using heat and motion detectors, can identify and shoot a potential target more than two miles away. Photo courtesy of Samsung Techwi
