South
Korea has recently developed a robot called "Robo-Guard". This 5 feet
tall robot is specially designed for prisons to help in making their environment
safer. It is currently in testing phase (costing nearly $750,000) and is being anticipated
that this automation can minimize expenditures also.
The
efficient robot is able to patrol the hallways between cells on thick rubber
wheels and is armed with numerous things like cameras including 3D, microphone,
speaker and software intended to assess prisoner’s behavior. It is such a smart
robot that it can alert a human guard if it finds the behavior of a prisoner to
be odd. Moreover, it can also be manually engaged through an iPad.
Phys.Org
reports that the robots can also operate as wireless two-way
communications devices since they let prisoners and guards to communicate
with each other instantaneously resulting in quick emergency response.
The
Asian Forum of Corrections hopes to deploy them permanently in prisons, if the
testing phase spanning over one month period verifies them feasible. It also expects
to fine tune them in a way that they can carry out random weapons and illicit searches.

lets hope it will work properly but manufacture cost is too high.
yes...but it definitely will help in reducing the cost in hiring labrorers :-)
