iRobot's 'throwable' 110 FirstLook bot gets selected into the army (video)

in providing automatic technology-based alternatives, obtained a $1.5

million purchase, financed by the Combined Improvised Intense System Defeat

Organization (JIEDDO), for more than 100 of the organization's style 110

FirstLook™ spiders. Since its release last season, the iRobot 110

FirstLook has gone through comprehensive examining and classes with the

customer. All spiders under this purchase have been provided and will

take part in an functional analysis this may.

FirstLook is a little, lighting and throwable automatic robot. It is suitable for a

wide variety of infantry and exclusive functions tasks, including

building cleaning, raids and other close-in circumstances. With four

built-in electronic cameras, FirstLook provides multi-direction situational

awareness while maintaining the owner somewhere safe.

FirstLook offers a exclusive set of abilities. While it is just

five weight, it is solid enough to endure 15-foot declines, overcomes

obstacles as high as seven inches large and instantly self-rights when

flipped over. Upcoming abilities involve two-way sound communication

and electronic capable marketing, which will allow several spiders to relay

radio marketing and sales communications over higher ranges.

"iRobot has obtained very good reviews from the area about

FirstLook's abilities, and we are energized about the benefits this

game-changing automatic robot will offer to our soldiers," said Tim Instructor,

interim gm of iRobot's Military Robots business device.

"Similar to how iRobot's PackBot and SUGV spiders modified the way

explosive ordnance convenience tasks are conducted, we presume FirstLook

will modify how infantry and exclusive functions tasks are performed

in the years forward."
