Secom has introduced the "Secom Robot X," a six-wheeled security robot.

Specs:

• 24km range
• top speed of 10 kph
• 360 degree cameras
• smokescreen
• flashing red and blue lights
• microphone/speaker

It operates remotely, and according the the manufacturers, at around $3,000 per month it is half the price of a human security guard. And this is serious, and it will affect our lives, for they say 500 robots will be produced in the first year!
