robot dogs will soon be deployed at the U.S.-Mexico border to patrol for 'illegal activity', according to the US Department of Homeland Security.The Ghost Robotics dogs, which have four legs and can't be pushed over or easily destroyed, will be used by police to enforce strict border laws on the US' wild Southwest border."Due to the demands of the region, adding quadruped mechanical reinforcements is a smart use of resources. Despite the dangers, and maybe even using them as cover, there are many types of illegal activity that happen in the harsh border zones," DHS said in a statement."The southern border can be an inhospitable place for man and beast, and that is exactly why a machine may excel there," added DHS Science and Technology Derectorate manager Brenda Long.Ghost Robotics' 'robot dog' is itself very resilient, and can't be pushed over or easily attacked."They're unstoppable, with the ability to get right back from any slip, fall, or failure and keep moving using our proprietary blind-mode operation," Ghost Robotics explains on its site.

Manchester United for making what he has called an "absurd" decision relating to Ralf Rangnick's appointment.Rangnick arrived at Old Trafford in December after being announced as the club's interim manager for the remainder of the season following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.The search for a new permanent boss has been delayed until the end of the current campaign, at which point Rangnick will assist as part of his new role as a club advisor.However, the decision to bring in an interim manager on a temporary basis in the first place has left Sheringham confused.Speaking to Genting Casino, Sheringham explains: “In the main, when we're talking about Man United, I think the real problem goes back to Rangnick coming in, another interim manager, it's just absurd for me.“United had an interim manager in Michael Carrick, they let him go and appointed another, it just brings uncertainty to a group of footballers that should be playing at their highest level.“Rangnick is obviously going to chop and change with who he likes and who he doesn't like.“A footballer's mentality, if you are left out for three or four games is, ‘I really want to get back in the team'.Do you agree with Teddy Sheringham's comments? Let us know in the comments section below."But when it's an interim manager you can wait till the end of the season and say, ‘Do you know what? He'll be gone before I go, so I'll wait till the next manager comes in.’“It's another season lost when you have that sort of vibe, you only need to chop and change and rotate the team a few times and you've got a lot of unhappy players.“I think the actual problem is coming from the top.
