Technology just like in the old days

I am a big fan of star wars.. and I always find R2D2 and C3PO really funny and of course helpful in alot of ways.. the star wars saga has been going on for years now..isn't it amazing to find alot of manufacturers (i.e hitachi and Honda) are doing great researches in robotics...

Hitachi is working on a security robot on wheels that can map out its surroundings using infrared sensors and a camera to detect missing items, suspicious packages and intruders.

The 22-inch tall robot, has a swiveling camera that protrudes like a periscope, enabling it to watch for suspicious changes in the landscape and send photos to a guard, Hitachi said Tuesday.
