iRobot debuts ‘throwable’ 110 FirstLook robot

Sure, virtually any iRobot bot is technically “throwable,” however the company’s new iRobot 110 FirstLook robot is sure to survive that throw and keep rolling, or even face up to 15-foot drops onto concrete. As you can be in a position to tell from appearances, this one’s also primarily an army bot, and iRobot says it’s ideal for “hasty situational awareness,” in addition to for investigating tunnels and other confined spaces (it measures just nine inches by twelve inches and weighs only five pounds). What’s more, it also promises to continue operating for greater than six hours at a time, and it could be controlled using a nifty wrist-mounted touchscreen controller. Head on past the break for a video.
