A network of robotic cops

Clever Koreans expect to have a robot-assisted police force and army in five years. They're using their robust network capabilities to mitigate expenses. [Link]

Smart robots need three basic functions of sensing, processing and action. Thus far, robotics researchers have tried to cram the three into a single dummy, causing expenses to soar.

Instead, the planned robots will be receiving most sensing and processing capabilities via a Web connection. Only the ability of movement will be located in the robot.
