The owner of O'Terrill's Irish Pub in downtown Atlanta has built a robot to shoo away vagrants and drug dealers loitering on his property and that of a nearby daycare center. The robot has a bright spotlight, a sound system tied to the owner's walkie-talkie, and a low-power water cannon. "Terrill says deploying the robot has helped keep crime in check, preventing car break-ins and drug deals and stopping vandals from trashing the day care center." Here's video of the "Bum-Bot" in action. (Via Engadget and Ace.)
