Encyclopedia
The iRobot Warrior is an unmanned robotic platform from iRobot Corporation
. The 285 lb (129 kg) robot can traverse land at up to 9.3 mph (15 km/h) and is capable of carrying up to 500 lb (227 kg), including 150 lb (68 kg) in its manipulator. Able to climb steps and slopes at up to 45°, the next generation of remote control robotic vehicles is bigger, faster, and more capable than their smaller counterparts. Initial intended uses are Explosive Ordinance Disposal, route-clearance, surveillance, reconnaissance, casualty extraction, firefighting, manipulating and welding.
iRobot has teamed up with Metal Storm to mount an electronically controlled firing system on a Warrior capable of firing up to 16 rounds per second.
In circa 2008, iRobot announced that it received a $3.75 million dollar contract from Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center for research in development.
