Y'all. Robocop is REAL!
Police in Huntington Park, California, are fighting crime with a robot that strolls sidewalks, using a 360-degree camera to look for bad guys.
It is actually called “HP Robocop” and it will keep an eye on public areas like parks and city buildings.
HP RoboCop has also been programmed to say things like “excuse me” and “good day to you” when it crosses paths with actual humans.
I think it's really cool, but I've seen enough movies to know it's only a matter of time before this thing becomes self-aware and starts to kill us all off. It looks a little too much like a Dalek for my liking.
