DARPA Watch: LANdroid WiFi Robots


Via Technovelgy.com.

LANdroid WiFi robots are the latest items from DARPA's technology wish-list. DARPA is soliciting proposals for intelligent autonomous radio relay nodes that are able to establish mesh networks in urban settings.

Ideally, a LANdroid unit would consist of a robotic platform - small, inexpensive, smart, and mobile (as shown in the photoshop artist's conception above). Warfighters would carry lots of them (they should be roughly palm-size) and then drop them as they go.
