Arachni-Robo Japanese Science Explosion!
While the rest of the world struggles to find work for its recession-weary citizens, those wily Japanese are tackling the dual issue of how to make more jobs obsolete while efficiently incapacitating the former holding of said jobs.
Enter Alacom Co. and Tmsuk Co.’s joint venture, the T-34, a real-life Robot Police Officer (or “Robocop,” if you would) that is capable of apprehending suspects via the proven most-effective method of suspect-capture, shooting nets over them, a la Spiderman.
Time will tell if human police officers will remain necessary now that super-sweet robots have been developed to do their work for them, but attempts to replace humans with robots have been a mixed bag in the past, with McDonald’s disastrous attempt to replace Pakistanis with the automated convenience store, Red Box, coming to mind.
I wish there was more to report on this fantastic breakthrough, but I’ve already included just about every novel detail that the BBC was able to impart. The Far East is indeed a land of mystery and killer robots.
