Machine gun-toting robots deployed on DMZ - Stripes - Independent U.S. military news from Iraq, Afghanistan and bases worldwide

Machine gun-toting robots deployed on DMZ - Stripes - Independent U.S. military news from Iraq, Afghanistan and bases worldwide: "DEMILITARIZED ZONE, Korea — Security along the DMZ has gone high-tech, as South Korea has quietly installed a number of machine gun-armed robots to serve as the first line of defense against the potential advance of North Korean soldiers.

The stationary robots — which look like a cross between a traffic signal and a tourist-trap telescope — are more drone than Terminator in concept, operated remotely just outside the southern boundary of the DMZ by humans in a nearby command center."
