Samsung has partnered with Korea university and developed the machine-gun equipped robotic sentry. It is equipped with two cameras with zooming capabilities one for day time and one for infrared night vision. It has a sophisticated pattern recognition which can detect the difference between humans and trees, and a 5.5mm machine-gun.

Yet another milestone on the path toward robots that hunt, kill, and eat people, and use their flesh to generate electric power.

This is not exactly new. About a year ago, there was a student who wrote code using an SGI machine to track and shoot BBs at his brother. It made slashdot, then the student got quiet as he went into business with a commercial partner to make a sentry gun.

Now all those 1980s movies can finally be based on reality. Where's my T1000? Oh wait, I forgot... he's running the State of California...
