iRobotiRobot's Warrior weighs 385 pounds.

iRobot is most famous for its line of consumer robots designed to vacuum and wash your floors, but the company also has a second business providing tough-as-nails robots to police and military.

These robots go directly into harm's way to scout unfamiliar territory, handle dangerous objects, and even deactivate bombs, all while keeping their human operators a safe distance away.

Althought these bots present only account for about 10% of iRobot's business, you'll soon see that the company has as much commitment to building tough tools for the military as it does to building cute domestic robots that keep your floors clean for you.
