DARPA Tactical Robots Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan |
PackBot robots, originally developed under DARPA’s Tactical Mobile Robotics program, are now deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The robots are used for reconnaissance of dangerous and inaccessible areas. They act as eyes and ears for soldiers, and provide real-time intelligence while keeping soldiers out of harm’s way. The robots are lightweight and rugged and can be carried and deployed by a single soldier.
