Notes: I am the publisher of robotstocknews.blogspot.com, a new blog covering all the news about iRobot (IRBT) and its competitors. I think the Roomba, Scooba, Packbot and other iRobot products are in the vanguard of taking robots from a niche to something that will transform modern life in the next ten or twenty years. I am not, at least not yet, a roboticist, or hobbyist, but am fascinated by the growth and creativity abundant in this field today.

I've uncovered a new 1-pound military micro robot called iRobot Ember. The idea is to send out swarms of these robots to set up and instant wireless communications grid on the battlefield, but there could be a lot of other uses besides.

Worth a look!
