Robocop in Korea

In searching around Technorati for the term “cyberpunk,” I found this little tidbit on a live journal blog. Don’t look now, but it looks like Robocop is coming to Korea in 5 years.

This from the Korea Times:

“By the 2010s, Korea is expecting to see robots assisting police and the military, patrolling the neighborhoods and going on recon missions on the battlefield.

The Center for Intelligent Robots on Monday said the state-backed agency plans to check the feasibility of security robots by convening a 40-member planning committee late this week.

“If the robots prove to be viable technically and commercially, we will be able to begin developing them late next year,” said Lee Ho-gil, head of the center.

When completed, the outdoor security robots will be able to make their night watch rounds and even chase criminals, according to Lee. “

Any chance we could get someone to send them a copy of the movie?
