Sanyo Announces "Banryu" Home Security Robot

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the insert-mecha-godzilla-joke-here dept.

Fooferaw writes "From the Sanyo web site: Sanyo and smaller tmsuk announce the next version of their "Banryu" home robot shaped somewhat like a dragon (it has the shiny curves of an AIBO, IMO). The Banryu can walk 15m/min., hear, sense in the infrared, and apparently "smell" a fire in the home. It even transmit real-time video." Corrected: The title initially said Sharp...I must have Zaurus on the brain.

  1. Guard Dragon Mode by hfastedge · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    i wonder what exactly Guard Dragon Mode does.

    Some psycho "gun-nut" like Eric Raymond (i AM quoting himself) can probably americanize the dragon with 15 lbs of double barrel action.

    Probably not something you'd want to beta test if you have a baby crawling around the house.
