ReconRobotics, Inc. announced today that the company’s Recon Scout® XT micro-robot has been named one of the Top 100 Tech Innovations of 2011 by Popular Science magazine. The “Best of What’s New” issue annually recognizes the innovations that “promise to make life safer, smarter, easier and more fun” – an ideal fit for the Recon Scout XT, which is used by SWAT teams and soldiers to gain life-saving situational awareness during high-risk operations. In recognizing the innovation behind the throwable micro-robot, the editors observed that “The Scout XT is tough enough to be tossed into any kind of environment—through a window, up a flight of stairs, into a puddle of water—and driven around remotely, beaming live video back to its handler.” In 2011 alone, the U.S. military has ordered more than 700 Recon Scout XT systems to help protect dismounted troops in Afghanistan.
