South Korea sets armed sentry robots on the North/South border

South Korea has deployed two robots along the North/South border that can sense heat and motion and, when identified, can attack enemies with a gun or “40mm automatic grenade launcher.” Umm. Scary? The robots are the latest chapter in the long North/South stand-off and should allow South Korea, with their 655,000 man army, have a hope ...

FURO robot waitstaff lull Koreans into a sense of complacency

Service robots are nothing new (and neither are dancing robots, for that matter) but unlike our old friend CAFERO, FURO has something of a human face. Of course, this is supposed to soothe and reassure us, but like the old robo-teddy we’re pretty much…

Future Robot is from the future

Next time you walk into a Starbucks, be ready to scream. Future Robot AKA Furo here is an order-taking robot from Korea with a woman’s “face” and a robot’s body designed to make you feel comfortable while shopping. Why the disjointed design?

Target-tracking autonomous guard-bot-tank is the precursor to the Hunter-Killer

Ah, how refreshing. Another reminder of the upcoming Robocalypse. People, if we do the machines’ work for them, we have no chance. We’re honestly designing autonomous killer robots?! This is a Thai project, but I’m going to go ahead and blame Korea anyway.

Free StrarCraft II for South Korean World of Warcraft players

The latest issue of Edge magazine has a fun little article abbot South Korea’s obsession with StarCraft. One of the issues the article brings up is: what happens to the game when Blizzard releases StarCraft II next month? Nobody knows! (My guess is that StarCraft will be around forever, no matter how many sequels Blizzard develops.) Along the same lines, kinda, Blizzard plans to give free copies of StarCraft II to Korean gamers who have an active World of Warcraft account.
