Robot wardens are about to join the ranks of South Korea's prison service.

A jail in the eastern city of Pohang plans to run a month-long trial with three of the automatons in March.

The machines will monitor inmates for abnormal behaviour. Researchers say they will help reduce the workload for other guards.

South Korea aims to be a world leaders in robotics. Business leaders believe the field has the potential to become a major export industry.

The three 5ft-high (1.5m) robots involved in the prison trial have been developed by the Asian Forum for Corrections, a South Korean group of researchers who specialise in criminality and prison policies.

It said the robots move on four wheels and are equipped with cameras and other sensors that allow them to detect risky behaviour such as violence and suicide.

As long as they're not armed, right? But I expect that to change once whoever's in control puts more trust in these cold, metallic machines.

I wish it would have been a japanese bot. Some plot potential for a war just right here when the bot would open fire on wardens and letting the prisoners go free

[Aylinato]

i would just keep trying to get the robot guard to divide a number by 0 and give me an answer that isn't undefined. mauhahahahahaha

or ask the robo guard to figure out the mathematically end of pi(mauahhaha)

either way it dies

Does a prison of all prisons contain itself?

So it'll give them 10 seconds to comply before shooting them to pieces anyway. That'll cut down on the prison population!
