As seen in this story by The Guardian,
a Japanese electronics company has debuted Kuratas, a 13-foot high
robot that can fire 6,000 BB bullets per minute (100 rounds per second). The robot "is controlled either by a human pilot in a mid-torso cockpit
or by a smartphone connected to a 3G network," the Guardian article says
- while it could be used as a weapon, it could also be customized "for
more peaceful functions such as firefighting or cleaning." The cost of this new robot is estimated at some $1.4 million.
