The Packbot



This new robot is being jointly developed by Boeing and iRobot. It has 6 microphones, and it has been designed to listen for enemy gunfire. Not only can it distinguish between the sounds of an AK-47 and an M-16, it can hover in an unmanned Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) and relay back the exact location of enemy troops. The first Packbots are scheduled for delivery in 2008. You can read the full article here:
