Sentry robot turning SECURITY ROBOTS (CONTINUED)

The end-effector choices for the jointed arm are:

  1. Audio and video box
  2. A tear gas hose
  3. A handgun
1. The police want the arm to carry a speaker and microphone box, for 2-way communication through the robot. If an intruder is caught in the act, the police might use the robot's video and audio to talk them into giving up.

2. Some workers want the robot arm to be mounted with a tear gas nozzle. This way the intruder might be caught and subdued quickly, to be turned over to the police.

3. Angry over the previous injury of 2 guards, the Security Supervisor asks for a real gun to be mounted on the robot. She feels that the gun could be a deterrent. If potential thieves know that the robot has a gun, they will be less likely to try and rob this particular factory.
