Saddam Hussein had been gone just a few weeks, and U.S. forces in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, were already being called unwelcome invaders. One of the first big anti-American protests of the war escalated into shootouts that left 18 Iraqis dead and 78 wounded. .............It's a ray gun that neither kills nor maims, but the Pentagon has refused to deploy it out of concern that the weapon itself might be seen as a torture device.

Seems like every week Japan comes out with a newer, cooler robot. They've got 'bots as receptionists and 'bots to clean apartment buildings — all we've done so far is slap a gun on one and send it to war.
Standing just less than four feet tall and weighing around 130 pounds, Toyota's TPR-Robina's bulbous body might look pretty awkward, but it has systems built in to guide it around obstacles.
