So here we go. A robot prison guard that can detect dangerous behaviour in prisoners, and deal with them.
Time Magazine :
In prisons of the future, watchtowers and barbed wire may be just a formality. South Korea is debuting robot wardens with the power to stop jailbreaks. If all goes according to plan, these hulking bots will soon roam South Korean jails as troubleshooters.
The objective is more Minority Report than Terminator. The robots contain cameras and sensors that are programmed to detect unusual activity or mood shifts in prisoners. Standing nearly 5 ft. (152 cm) tall, the robots will trek around the prison grounds to check on inmates, providing backup and relief for the human guards. The four-wheelers are in touch with prisoners’ emotions, sensing aggressive or suicidal shifts, and they can even facilitate conversation with the human guards from afar using their built-in cameras.
