Grief leads father to
create bomb-defusing robot

Grief leads father to <br> create bomb-defusing robot TYNGSBOROUGH, Mass. — Brian Hart founded a company that has developed rugged, relatively inexpensive robotic vehicles, resembling small dune buggies, to disable car bombs and roadside explosives before they detonate in hot spots like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now, three years after starting Black-I Robotics Inc., Hart and his four employees won a $728,000 contract from the Pentagon in June to further develop the "LandShark" robot.
