A Russian-made robot that can simultaneously fire three types of weapons was unveiled at an arms exhibition last week.
Russia Today says the manufacturer claims it beats the similar American bot used in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Created by the robotics lab of the Moscow Bauman Technical University and shown at Interpolitex-2009, the soldier carries two Shmel rocket launchers, two grenade launchers, a Pecheneg machine gun and six smoke grenades.
There's a catch though - you have to use two joysticks and be within 500m to operate it.
