美国的七件“国防神器”

可以扔的机器人Throwbot XT

    ReconRobotics生产的抛式机器人Throwbot XT的理念非常简单，而其设计又非常聪明，无怪乎美国海军陆战队和国内执法机关都热情地接纳了这款装备。它的大小和造型和一个啤酒罐差不多，可以扔进窗子里，可以隔着墙扔过去，也可以扔到房顶，然后遥控控制它四处滚动侦察情况。它配备了一台非常好用的手持遥控器，上面有一块屏幕，可以显示Throwbot XT上安装的摄像头看到的情况（红外摄像头甚至能看到夜间影响）。

    军警人员可以把Throwbot XT投掷到危险的地方，让现场人员了解危急情况，同时也避免了派人员侦察可能产生的危险。而且每个Throwbot XT的价格大约只有1.3万美元，它是本届海空天博览会上最便宜的高科技产品之一。

Throwbot XT

    ReconRobotics Throwbot XT is a concept so simple and a design so clever that it's no wonder both the U.S. Marines and domestic tactical law enforcement teams have enthusiastically embraced it. Roughly the size and shape of a tallboy beer can, the hardy little robot can be thrown through windows, over walls, or onto rooftops and then controlled remotely to roll around and take stock of a situation. An easy-to-use handheld controller also contains a screen that shows the operator what the Throwbot XT's onboard camera is seeing (an IR camera even provides vision in the dark).

    Officers and soldiers can toss their Throwbots into dangerous situations to provide critical situational awareness without sending a human being into harm's way. And at roughly $13,000 per Throwbot, it was one of the more inexpensive technologies we came across at Sea-Air-Space.
