<b>Marshall Land Systems</b> Trakkar, capable of carrying a 550-pound payload, can also be equipped with a range of sensors; this second little guy features a very cool “follow me” technology that lets it trail its operator. (FoxNews.com)
<b>Marshall Land Systems</b> The small but mighty "throwbot" EyeDrive has 360-degree views with five video cameras. It can also carry disruptor charges for counter-IED missions. (FoxNews.com)
