Homeland Security Adopts Use Of High Tech Robots

ROCKVILLE, MD - AUGUST 21: AirRobot founder and CEO Burkhard Wiggerich reaches out for the airborne video probe during a demonstration at the Montgomery County Fire Rescue Training Academy Aug. 21, 2006 in Rockville, Maryland. The 1 kilogram AirRobot, designed in Germany, carries still, video and thermal imaging cameras and can use GPS to measure and track objects and places from the air. The National Institutes of Standards and Technology and the Department of Homeland Security?s Science and Technology Directorate hosted a weekend of development performance tests for search and rescue robot makers. The tests will help search and rescue organizations, both inside and outside of government, to evaluate robots and help make purchasing choices based on how the devices performed.
