Secom has introduced the “Secom Robot X,” a six-wheeled security robot. Although it doesn’t have any guns (this is Japan we’re talking about here), it does have a 24km range, 360 degree cameras, and even a smokescreen. Since the robot can be controlled remotely “in times of emergency,” I suggest you buy two and live out your sweaty cop-on-cop fantasies. Other features intended to scare off the baddies are flashing red and blue lights (uh oh), and a microphone/speaker so that you can perhaps yell intruders off your property (I called it “New Freeland”). Prices begin at around $3,000 per month; According to Secom, this is cheaper than what it costs to hire real security.
