May 1st, 2015: Chinese Robots
China likes robots, I wonder if it’s because they have a shortage of labor?
Two of there latest creations are Robo-Monk and Robo-Cop. Robo-Monk(Xian’er) lives at a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Beijing. He moves around the temple, chanting Buddhist mantras, and talks to anyone who is eager to engage him in a conversation. Although, visitors have to stoop real low to talk to him, because he is only two feet tall, and made of metal and plastic. Robo-Cop lives at the National Defense University, is 1.49 meters(4.89 ft) in height, 78 kilograms(172 lbs) in weight and 0.8 meters (2.65 ft) in diameter. Its maximum speed is 18 kilometers(11.2 miles) per hour, and its standard patrol speed is 1 kilometer(.62 miles) per hour. It has sensors that mimic the human brain, eyes and ears. Capable of eight hours of continuous work, Robo-Cop(AnBot) is able to patrol autonomously and protect against violence or unrest. Quote:

Surprised China has put much more development and applied much more sophisticated technology in Robo-Cop than in Robo-Monk? Note that Robo-Cop seems to be an agent of the state, deployed not to protect people from crime, but to protect the state from riots or civil unrest. Why worry about your tweets when they can look over your shoulder? Robo-Monk Robo-Cop
