Jun 26 2005, 5:00am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Japanese Sohgo Security says it will have its Guardrobo D1 robot show up for work in one year.

The Guardrobo D1 is 1m tall and can move 30cm/s. The security robot is equipped with surveillance cameras and wireless communications. It can be used to remotely patrol buildings on a given path.
Sohgo Security tests the robot in a hotel, jewelry store and another location in Tokyo this summer to prepare it for commercial use.
More details on Nikkei.Net (Subscription) and on MSNBC.

The NUVO security robot is available for patrolling homes. And then there is also the scary Banryu Dragon Guard robot.
