Robots protect school kids

Secom released a new security system for schools called "SECOM School Security."

This system not only monitors kids using RFID tags while they are commuting to and from a school but also uses security guard robots (called SECOM Robot X) that move around and monitor school properties (actually they can also "scare" suspicious people by fast movements, light and smoke; please see this page and the mpeg here.

Also, the system includes surveillance cameras and metal detectors installed at school gates. See video.

RFID tags are attached to KoKo Secom Terminals (carried by kids) which will be read at school gates and elesewhere. Parents receive status of kid's commute on their cell phones. KoKo Secom terminals also has a GPS functionality that track kids' whereabouts outside school properties.
