The UK Border agency have enlisted the help of a briefcase-sized robot known as HERO in order to help patrol its borders. HERO is currently undergoing checking at Calais and have been certified to be deployed where essential. Each of these robots are able to hold a huge array of equipment that helps it search for hidden humans as it moves about objects with ease courtesy of its four-wheel drive chassis. Included instruments consist of heartbeat detectors, mighty searchlights and high-resolution

video cameras that assemble it a potent weapon when going through the insides and underneath of lorries and coaches. Of course, HERO doesn’t only look for smuggled folk but can be fitted with the relevant equipment to detect chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear threats.
