This is hilarious, this bar owner, Rufus Terrill of Atlanta, decided to take matter into his own hands and built a robotic security guard. He calls it the ‘Bum-bot,’ while the rest of the neighborhood calls it ‘Robocop,’ because he uses it to deter homeless from trespassing on his property.

He made use of an old barbecue smoker and mounted it on a three-wheeled scooter. The bot is equipped with an infrared camera, loudspearker, spotlight and an aluminum water cannon. He uses the camera to watch his property, the loudspeaker to yell at people from his walkie-talkie and the water cannon to shoot a stream of icy water about 20 feet.

On this night, as Terrill and his robot make their way to the street corner, he shines the robot’s spotlight on the parking lot of the daycare center. One by one, the shadowy figures stand up, walk away and saunter down the street.

“Ninety-nine percent of the time, when I go up there and once I turn the spotlight on and I talk to them through the speaker, they leave,” he says.
