Robots played an important role in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings. I am very proud that iRobot products were deployed on several occasions to help assess potential threats as bomb squad personnel meticulously cleared crime scenes. In addition, we made four employees available to law enforcement in support of their robotic missions. It is very satisfying to work on products that help save lives but depressing to see them used in your own back yard. Pictured here is one of our PackBots (left side of photo) used in Watertown to investigate the first car abandoned by the bombing suspects. The photo was taken by a local resident.
