POPULAR ELECTRONICS, MARCH 1978, PAGE 126:
"CENTURY I" IS THE NAME OF A 7-FT, 650-LB BULLETPROOF, COMPUTERIZED ROBOT
DESIGNED BY QUASAR INDUSTRIES INC. TO BE USED AS A SECURITY GUARD BY THE
UNITED STATES ARMY.  SENSORS IN THE ROBOT CAN DETECT MOVEMENT, BODY HEAT,
OR ANY NOISE CAUSED BY AN INTRUDER.  ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS THEN CAUSE THE ROBOT
TO "LOCK ONTO" THE SUBJECT AND FOLLOW IT, ISSUING AURAL INSTRUCTIONS TO STOP
WHEN THE ROBOT IS ABOUT 8 FEET FROM THE INTRUDER.  IF DISOBEYED, THE ROBOT IS
PREPARD TO TAKE MEASURES TO STOP THE INTRUDER, SUCH AS EMITTING A HIGH-
FREQUENCY SOUND THAT CAUSES EXTREME PAIN IN THE INNER EAR, A STROBE LIGHT THAT
TEMPORARILY BLINDS THE INTRUDER, ETC.  SO FAR, THERE ARE NO PLANS TO EQUIP THE
ROBOT WITH LETHAL RESTRAINTS.   THE CENTURY I CAN ROLL ALONG AT 20 MILES AN
HOUR IN PURSUIT OF AN INTRUDER.
