SKYNET SMILES: China Debuts Anbot, The Police Robot:

Anbot’s most controversial feature is naturally the onboard ‘electrically charged riot control tool’ (likely a Taser or extendable cattle prod). This can only be fired by the Anbot’s human remote operators (it seems that just like the U.S. military, Chinese policemen do not yet feel comfortable giving armed robots the autonomous capability to fire their weapons). The Anbot’s large size means that it has room to mount other law enforcement gear, like tear gas canisters and other less lethal weaponry.
