Burglars beware! A new robotic security guard has been unveiled that can sense an intruder and launch a net to capture them.

The prototype T-34 trundles along on four small wheels and it loaded with sensors that can detect anything untoward in an office building.

Caught in the act: A mock intruder is tangled in a net launched by the remote-controlled security robot

Created by robot developer tmsuk and security firm Alacom the surveillance robot reacts to body heat and sound.

The zippy machine moves up to 6mph under the command of a person who sees real-time images of where the robot is on the screen of his mobile.

It can then be instructed to spray a 'spider web' net that entangles the intruder. The robot was demonstrated recently in Tokyo.

'Security sensors often set off false alarms but examining the location with the robot will lead to more efficient operations,' the companies said.
