Members blue2blue Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 It's a six foot tall, egg-shaped, mobile crime fighter fitted with video cameras and other sensors designed to relay street intelligence back to crime fighting central in the Russian city of Perm, in eastern Russia. It was developed as a joint venture between police and city authorities and designed to trasmit images from Perm's streets to police stations across the city. It was unveiled with great fanfare and hoopla this last week as the answer to Perm's future enforcement needs. But there was one tiny oversight... The Russian robocop wasn't water-proofed... Within only a few hours of its introduction to the tough turf of Perm's streets a heavy downpour of rain flooded out the robot and shorted its circuits, forcing a repair crew to pull it in for a much-needed remedial makeover... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2376041.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nat whilk II Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 R2 is getting a good laugh complete with his distinctive robo-raspberries. To be unintentionally funny is one thing, but to be unintentionally bad slapstick is another.. nat whilk ii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Halt! Put down that spray can! This is a lawful order! NO! Put down that spray can! This is your final warning! Do not spray me! NO! Not in my sensors! Nooooooo!"

Members elsongs Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 You know, if you open up that Russian police robot, there's a smaller Russian police robot inside, and an even smaller Russian police robot inside that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
