An automatic shooting mechanism capable of remote switching and unmanned switching between a safety mode and a shooting mode, and remote shooting and unmanned shooting. Also provided is a sentry robot employing the automatic shooting mechanism and capable of performing wide and narrow monitoring and sentry duties in short and long ranges, and automatically shooting at a target. The automatic shooting mechanism comprises a safety unit including a safety solenoid and an elastic member to move a safety pin of a gun between a safety mode position and a shooting mode position, and a return unit for applying force to the safety pin of the gun to move the safety pin to the safety mode position. The automatic shooting mechanism further comprises a shooting unit including a shooting solenoid to move a connecting link back and forth, and a trigger push member having one end contacting a trigger of the gun and the other end contacting the shooting solenoid, and coupled at a middle portion of the shooting unit to be capable of pivoting to pull the trigger as desired.

What is claimed is: 1. An automatic shooting mechanism comprising: a holding region that holds a gun having a safety mechanism and trigger, the holding region having a trigger contacting region and a separate safety mechanism contacting region; a mechanical safety unit including an electronically actuated safety moving member and an elastic member in the safety mechanism contacting region to effect movement of the safety mechanism of the gun between a safety mode position and a shooting mode position, the mechanical safety unit being external to the gun; a mechanical return unit, external to the gun, for applying force to the safety mechanism to move the safety mechanism to the safety mode position; and a mechanical shooting unit, external to the gun and including an electronically actuated shooting moving member in the trigger contacting region to effect movement of a trigger push member having one end for contacting and moving the trigger of the gun. 2. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the elastic member is arranged to apply force in a direction that enables the safety mechanism to move toward the safety mode position, and the safety moving member operates to apply force to move the safety mechanism to the shooting mode position. 3. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the safety moving member includes a solenoid and the shooting moving member includes another solenoid. 4. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the mechanical safety unit further comprises a rod that is moveable by the safety moving member to contact and move the safety mechanism to the shooting mode position. 5. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the mechanical return unit includes an elastic member for applying the force to the safety mechanism to move the safety mechanism to the safety mode position. 6. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 5, wherein the mechanical return unit further includes a pin for movement by the elastic member to contact and apply the force to the safety mechanism. 7. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the force applied to the safety mechanism by the mechanical return unit moves the safety mechanism to the safety mode position when the safety moving member operates to effect movement of the safety mechanism to the safety mode position. 8. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the mechanical shooting unit further includes a connecting link that couples the shooting moving member to the trigger push member to enable the shooting moving member to move the trigger push member. 9. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the mechanical shooting unit further includes an elastic member that applies a force to the trigger push member to influence movement of the one end of the trigger push member away from the trigger. 10. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 9, wherein the force applied by the elastic member influences movement of the one end of the trigger push member away from the trigger when the shooting moving member moves the trigger push member to move the one end of the trigger push member away from the trigger. 11. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the trigger push member is pivotably coupled to the shooting unit to pivot toward and away from the trigger. 12. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a computerized controller that controls operation of the mechanical safety unit, the mechanical return unit and the mechanical shooting unit. 13. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a robot which houses the mechanical safety unit, the mechanical return unit and the mechanical shooting unit. 14. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 13, wherein the robot further comprises a pivotable main body, with the mechanical safety unit, the mechanical return unit and the mechanical shooting unit being coupled to the main body. 15. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 14, further comprising: a master camera arranged to rotate with the main body; and an active camera arranged to rotate with the gun. 16. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 15, wherein the master camera comprises two cameras, each installed at both sides of the main body. 17. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 15, further comprising: a driving portion for driving the main body, the master camera, the active camera, and the gun; and a controller for controlling shooting of the gun and for performing at least one of image analysis, target recognition, and target tracking. 18. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 14, further comprising: a base, configured such that the main body is coupled to the base and is pivotable with respect to the base. 19. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 3, wherein the safety moving member solenoid and the shooting moving member solenoid have actuators that move at right angles to one another. 20. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the holding region surrounds a portion of the gun on at least three sides. 21. The automatic shooting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the electronically actuated safety moving member and the electronically actuated shooting moving member are located proximally adjacent to the gun safety mechanism and trigger respectively.
