Since last year’s demonstration for the device, iRobot has added in even more sensors. This could make the Ember into a cheap hand-held scout that any soldier can carry into battle and use to find enemy combatants, traps, or other dangers. Meanwhile, its wireless network would connect soldiers to each other and to more advanced aerial and combat drones that are already in the US Army’s arsenal. A damaged or destroyed Ember can be easily compensated for by the rest of its swarm mates, and at $100 each, chances are we’ll see these bots driven into the rough and explosive areas where they’re needed most. All that, and the little bot looks pretty cool as well. I need to get a pair of those flippers for my next car. Click the image to see the latest video from iRobot.
