Eden Prairie, Minn. – February 15, 2016 – ReconRobotics, Inc., the world leader in tactical micro-robots and remote sensor systems, announced today that it has passed the 5,000 robots sold plateau, making it the second largest producer of military and police robots in the world. Recent sales of Throwbot® and Recon Scout® micro-robots to police agencies across the country and in Europe, pushed the company over this significant milestone.
“When the company came on the scene in 2007, all military and police robots were large and complex and were operated only by trained experts,” said Mack Traynor, CEO of ReconRobotics. “The vision was radically different: give warfighters and SWAT operators an incredibly simple, personal system that weighed one pound and enabled them to remotely deploy video, infrared and audio sensors to reveal hidden threats. What we are most proud of is the countless lives these 5,000 deployed systems have saved over the last nine years.”
Among the users of the company’s systems are the U.S. military and allied friendly forces, along with police and counterterrorism teams, worldwide. The company’s Recon Scout® and Throwbot® robots protect these operators by providing immediate situational awareness and greater standoff distance during high-risk operations. These capabilities protect personnel from hidden threats, enhance mission planning and execution, and minimize collateral damage.
