South Korea's Ministry of Justice has announced that it is testing robot guards in prisons. The one-month trial will be conducted at a prison in the city of Pohang, located southeast of capital Seoul, starting March 2012. The project is expected to cost one billion won (about $863,000). The robot guards are designed to patrol prison corridors and monitor conditions inside the cells. If the robots detect signs of sudden or unusual activity, they alert the human guards.
