Sergey G's details, in particular, were very helpful:<\/p><blockquote><p>TIS (Transinvestservice) is logistics company near Odessa. They had problems people finding their warehouse (you know - knowing to turn left after 15 km and stuff like that), so TIS set up an giant robot made from old cars as a signpost.<\/p><p>As a side-note: \"Giant Human Like Battle Robots\" is a popular meme in Russia and Ukraine. \"When [are we] going to employ Giant Humanlike Battle Robots to protect our borders?\" was a winning question for Putin on his nationwide interview with Internet folk. Yuschenko (Ukrainian president) was asked this as well since then.<\/p><\/blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=cb0bd44ab909bf7647f8e7dcf0ee779b&amp;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=cb0bd44ab909bf7647f8e7dcf0ee779b&amp;p=1\"><\/a><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2226\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/CBVNaFySJM9KYWByEV4MdjzKF4U\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/CBVNaFySJM9KYWByEV4MdjzKF4U\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/p><div><a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Pre_r48v_ww:ksKrBS-Nz5A:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_full?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Pre_r48v_ww:ksKrBS-Nz5A:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_full?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Pre_r48v_ww:ksKrBS-Nz5A:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_full?i=Pre_r48v_ww:ksKrBS-Nz5A:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Pre_r48v_ww:ksKrBS-Nz5A:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_full?i=Pre_r48v_ww:ksKrBS-Nz5A:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/div><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b033e_Pre_r48v_ww\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\"TIS is proud to inform that we are the first in our Kominternovsky region to employ Giant Humanlike Combat Robots within the Security Department.
