Endeavor Robotics provides ‘throwable’ robots to German armed forces

By TechTaffy Desk

Endeavor Robotics has delivered 44 FirstLook robots to the German government. FirstLooks are often used to clear buildings and detect IEDs. The robots can climb up to seven inches and can automatically ‘self-right’ when flipped over.

Since 2006, Endeavor Robotics (formerly iRobot) has outfitted and sustained the German Federal Defense Force with a fleet of PackBot robots used to identify and dispose of explosive devices. Local sales and support for the fleet of robots is offered by Endeavor’s partner, European Logistic Partners.
