Errymath: anbot

An anti-riot droid equipped with a non-lethal, electric cattle 
prod has officially begun patrolling a terminal at one of China’s 
busiest airports.

Dubbed
 the ‘AnBot’, the security service machine built by China’s National 
University of Defense Technology was first unveiled to crowds in April 
at the Chongqing International Tech Fair.<br />
<br />
It has now begun 24-hour patrols at the Shenzhen International Airport 
in Guangdong and will beef up security in the $1.4 billion Terminal 3, 
reports <a href="http://en.people.cn/n3/2016/0922/c90000-9118480.html">China People’s Daily</a>.<br />

<br />
With a top speed of 18kph (11mph), the autonomous 1.49-meter (5ft) 
high robot is designed to track security threats and can even disarm 
people with an electrical charge.<br />
The Dalek-like machine emits a non-lethal charge from a fork-like device, which must be activated remotely by a human operator.<br />
Other
 features include four face-recognition cameras and an emergency 
response button for calling police. AnBot will also be expected to 
answer passenger’ questions, according to online news site <a href="http://www.china.org.cn/china/2016-09/22/content_39347636.htm">China.org</a>, provided people are brave enough to approach it.<br />
<br />
Xiao Xiangjiang of the National University of Defense Technology told New China TV that AnBot can function to a <em>“high degree”</em> on its own.<br />
<em>“It
 can patrol, avoid obstacles and then charge on its own. It is equipped 
with non-lethal weapons… it could be a service provider,”</em> Xiangjiang said back in April.<br />
Years ago the existence of a robot that could prevent crime was only found in film scripts or sci-fi novels.<br />
<br />
AnBot is strikingly similar to Knightscope’s K5 robot already in operation in the US.<br />
Although unarmed, the <em>“autonomous data machines”</em> are capable of detecting security breaches and recording potential intruders.<br />
