"It sounds like the sequel that didn't even make it to DVD: RoboCop's jaded, rotund, less attractive younger brother, who never made the police force -- and tired of living in his sibling's shadow -- took a job as the next best thing: a prison guard. "

South Korea (Of course.)

And what about when inmates learn what triggers the software and what doesn't, or the times when the robot isn't parked right in front of the cell with it's flashing light?

Seems one camera per cell + a intercom would be a cheaper and better solution.

"Beep beep, roboguard is here, don't do anything that I can recognize as stupid. Ok, I'm leaving now, beep beep"

Oh good it has software that can study human behavior and it is getting use to keeping humans locked up. It's almost as if we want robots to overthrow us and take over the planet.

robot revolt is a much cooler future than zombie apocalypse imo.

Because you have a chance fighting against zombies. Against robots, you will only get assimilated.

We could always make a computer virus that turns robots into robo zombies.
They'd then turn on their former comrades and attack them with a usb-stick to spread the virus.

I'm sure a Japanese dude is already trying to marry it.
