TOKYO — Hitachi is working on a vaguely R2D2-like security robot on wheels that can map out its surroundings using infrared sensors and a camera to detect missing items, suspicious packages and intruders.
The 22-inch tall robot, which looks like a trash can and is reminiscent of the small, beeping robot in "Star Wars," has a swiveling camera that protrudes like a periscope, enabling it to watch for suspicious changes in the landscape and send photos to a guard, Hitachi said Tuesday.
The Japanese electronics maker has no commercial product plans so far but believes the roving robot, which can figure out the best route to a spot on its own, is better than the stationary cameras now common for security, researcher Toshio Moriya said.

You will always be with me.
Its only funny til they start to take over the world and to start terminating us like in the movie Terminator.
It doesnt make sense, they could put infared cameras and motion detection systems in each room they need to secure. This thing just does what guards do, walk around. So the guards can sit down at the video room all day watching.
This is just a really big waste of money for something that looks cool. Cameras work just as well and it dosent look like the robot is armed.
I want a Robot with a little Red Nose and Beady Black Eyes. This way if people look through my Windows, they'll think it's a human
What A Twist!
I just see the guard getting so fat.
Did any of you ever stop to think that 90% of security guards are fat? lol
It kinda looks like Captain Christopher Pike.(the after the crash version)Or the teacher in the Southpark episode "Pre-school" for you young uns.
I don't need no stinking signature
Got a Machine Head! It's better than the rest! Green to Red...Machine Head!!!!
What A Twist!
