We already have plenty of robot sentries/killers in the sky, so Israeli defense firm G-NIUS felt it important to tip the balance a little over to the four-wheeled category (joining the DARPA Urban Challenge
folks) with its Guardium UGV. Designed mostly for border patrol and
recon missions, the Guardium's onboard telemetry can receive GPS
coordinates for adapting its pre-programmed routes on the fly and avoid
obstacles on its own. And judging by the video, it's pretty damn fast.

So far it only carries cameras and recon gear, but the company claims
it can be fitted with a variety of different modular systems which
could include weapons. For now, buyers will have to settle for chemical
snifters, missile launch detectors, and an "RFID Interrogator," which
might just be tactical speak for "RFID reader for border-jumpers'
passports."
