Robot centurions on the Korean DMZ?
2005-04-09
The [SKOR] defence ministry said on Friday that it would complete a feasibility study of the planned system by the end of 2005, and the robots could be hunting Sarah Conner in operation as early as 2011.

"If the surveillance system by robots is effective, we may withdraw part of our troops northward away from the border," a ministry official told the Associated Press news agency.

#5  "Surevillance", yes, that's a good euphamism for it. Given the viciousness of the periodic cross-border disputes there (remember the ax-murder incident?), and their frequency, I would suggest that they robots are going to be heavily armored killing machines. At some of the river crossing points, mechanical sharks. Without laser beams, however.

"By your command..."
