Roland Piquepaille has breaking news on the increasingly competitive robotic home security industry:
There is a new robot in town which wants to guard your home. This new security robot, which currently has no name, is designed by the Korean company Mostitech and will be distributed starting in June by Korea's top mobile carrier, SK Telecom. With its price tag of only $850, it will be a serious competitor for Banryu, which costs $18,000. The unnamed robot is 50 centimeters tall and weighs only 12 kilograms. In case of emergency, such as a fire, its cameras can take snapshots and send them to the owner's cell phone. Likewise, if an unexpected visitor is entering your home, you'll receive his picture on your phone, says the Korea Times in this article. Besides security features, it also can entertain your kids by reading them a book.
Read the whole thing and check out the neat photos.

Tony wants to invent the ultimate blogging bot to post comment on everyone's blog so no one in the blogosphere gets sligted. *Sigh* I could use one. So many blogs, so little time!
