FamilyRobotsFour robot platforms β€” ranging from 16 to 30 inches in length and 26 to 90 pounds in weight β€” that are designed for multiple uses by industry, the military and other users are being marketed from $499 to $899.

Built by Powerhouse Inc. of Belmont, Calif., the platforms are fully assembled and ruggedized, says a spokesman, who suggests they would prove most useful β€œin environments that require remote guidance or sensing such as hazardous substance handling or materials management manufacturing.”

Another market eyed by the company is robot battle competitions.
