iRobot Corporation learned last week from the Pentagon that one of its PackBot robots was "destroyed in action" for the first time.
Its destruction meant the life of a U.S. soldier may well have been saved, iRobot states.
The 42-pound PackBot Scout, costs around $50,000.
iRobot signed a contract worth an estimated $32 million to develop a smaller, more advanced form of the PackBot for the U.S. military.
