Check out the video on the china news site. The robot demonstrates a taser weapon at the end of the video

Seems more like R2-D2 than Robocop.

EDIT:

Here's another source.

An electrical anti-riot device can be activated through remote control if a threat is detected.Shouting for help in the patrol area or pushing the robot’s emergency button will alert the police immediately....Wei Quansheng, an officer from Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, said the robot guard can be used in many public places such as airports, stations and subways to help with police officers’ anti-riot missions.

Someday that R2D2-esque ATM machine is going to blow a fuse and go psycho.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how that thing's supposed to fight a riot man. It's kind of slow and all around looks more like a moving terminal or something that'd serve airline food. It's like all the worse parts of a Dalek.

Ah yes, Daleks.

Regardless, I find this to be some rather interesting shit.

It's no ED-209, but atleast it's cute.

goddamn starwars lOLz.

The idea of having robot oppression troops to keep humans in line is extremely China's jam.



You can bet a robotank wouldn't have stopped.

Nice, there's nothing else that China copied from Japan to add to the list?
