Since its founding in 2005, ReconRobotics has been at the forefront of the research and development of tactical micro-robot systems. Beginning with the Recon Scout robot and continuing with the new Throwbot 2 robot, the company has established and maintained its standing as a worldwide leader in the field. Created from the belief that robotics can be used to protect law enforcement and military personnel, the Recon Scout and Throwbot robot systems increase safety by providing immediate situational awareness and greater standoff distance during high-risk operations. Worldwide, nearly 6,000 of the companys robot systems have been deployed. Users include multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces, international friendly forces, and more than 800 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
