This robot was developed under the supervision of the Ministry of Law of South Korea. Robots are designed to oversee these detainees, just tested for one month at a prison in the town of Pohang, southeast of Seoul. Equipped with motion sensors, cameras, height 150 cm and the legs on wheels, the robot is expected to oversee detainee gestures more effectively. This robot is also designed to operate well at night in a state little light.

Research and development of robot guards are under the supervision of a professor of Kyonggi University, Prof.. Lee Baek-Chul. He said, "Not like CCTV which only displays the image on a screen, the robot is programmed to be able to analyze the activity of the prisoners in jail, and identify the various forms of suspicious behavior". Furthermore, Prof.. Lee also revealed that the robot is only used as a tool for prison guards, especially at night, which usually increases the level of negligence of prison guards.

and recent information, the manufacture of these robots spend $ 850,000
