FOXNews.com - Anti-Terrorism Robot to Stand Guard at Logan Airport: "BOSTON — State Police at Logan International Airport are getting a new anti-terrorist robot that will help them disarm bombs safely from a distance.
The robot scheduled to be unveiled on Tuesday was inspired by and will be dedicated to Massachusetts soldiers who died in the war on terror. The manufacturer is Black-I Robotics in Tyngsborough, co-founded by Brian Hart, whose son Pfc. John Hart was killed in a roadside attack in Iraq in 2003.
It will be dedicated to Lt. Derek Hines, a West Point graduate killed in Afghanistan in 2005.
Hines's father is a lieutenant with the state police based at Logan.
The purchase of the LandShark Series D robot was funded by a congressional earmark sponsored by Congresswoman Niki Tsongas."
