Robot Prison Guards in South Korea Roll Out
South Korea, being one of the leaders in robotics, is putting up a new type of droid, a robot prison guard. Sponsored by the Ministry of Justice, a project trial will be held in March for a month at the jail of Pohang City, southeast of Seoul.
These droids or robot guards are basically designed to man and watch the corridors of the prison and monitor the conditions inside the cells. Sudden motion or unusual activity such as violent or abnormal behavior inside the center will be detected by these robot guards which will then alert human guards. Cool! Also, during emergency, these robots serve as communication channel between inmates and human guards.
As an advantage, workload of jail officers can be reduced particularly at night. And for the prisoners, these robots are not terminators, they are helpers. Moreover, the project team is trying to make these robots look more humane and friendly to the prisoners.
