Robot Living

Three years after founding Black-I Robotics, Brian Hart and company, have won an $800,000 contract from the Pentagon.  Hart founded Black-I Robotics after losing his son John Hart in Iraq.

The robot called a Land Shark will cost between $65,000 to $85,000 each.  See a video of the robot being put through it’s paces in April of 2008 here.

Hart and company will supply three robots sometime this year.  One will go to Logan airport in Boston for bomb disposal and two will go to the military for testing.

See our previous post about the Land Shark here.
