According to at least one online Japanese-English dictionary, that roughly means "stop thief!!"

To catch a thief and more, Japan-based security firm Sohgo Security Services is introducing a robot called the Guardrobo D1.

Here's how this 109-cm tall ( that's three feet, seven-inches for metrically challenged folks like me) will work. Set up in banks, shopping malls and offices, Guardrobo will be equipped with camera and sensors that will detect unauthorized activity, such as intrusions or holdups. Or even fires or water leaks.

Then, if Guardromo detects the bad stuff, it will send radio alerts to "human" guards as well as route live camera footage.

Guardromo will be available in about a year. Pricing has not yet been disclosed.

Oh, before I go, Japan Today has an online forum thread devoted to this topic.

My favorite reply, presumably about the territory that Guardomo will patrol:

"That'll put them in the toilets more than the average security guard," Forum member holeypost writes.

OK, one more:
