Warrior bot

iRobot's biggest and most powerful military robot is the Warrior. Able to pick up 220 pounds, it can take on tasks that require more lifting and pulling strength. Early versions of these Warrior robots, equipped with radioactivity meters and industrial vacuums, were sent to Japan to help clean up the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Earlier this year, a nuclear power plant operator purchased two. The optic fiber spool seen on the right is an alternative to connecting over a wireless network.
