ROBOT GUARDS TO PATROL JAPAN'S MALLS

[ TOKYO ] Burglars beware,robot guards are here.
In an idea straight out of science fiction,robots could soon begin patrolling Japanese offices ,shopping malls and banks to keep them safe from intruders.
Equipped with a camera and sensors,the Guardrobo D1,developed by Japanese security firm Sohgo Security Services Co is designed to patrol along pre-pro-grammed paths and keep an eye out for signs of trouble.
The 109-cm tall robot will alert human guards via radio and by sending camera footage if it detects intruders,fires,or even water leaks.
Such robots are vital from a business standpoint when considering Japan's ageing population,Sohgo Security said.
"In the near future,it is certain that securing young and capable manpawer will become even more difficult and the security industry will feel the full brunt of the impact,"the company said.
Around one in five Japanese are now 65 or more and the proportion is expected to rise to one in three in 2040,according to Government data.
Sohgo Security is negotiating with several clients.
It hopes to begin offering a robot-assisted security system within a year,the company said.
Pricing has yet to be decided.
