SUMMARY:🤖 Shut Down Ghost Robotics Open House
DESCRIPTION:CALL TO ACTION: Join us at our open house at Iffy Books on Oct 3rd from 7pm – 8pm. Come engage with other folks concerned about these overpowered buckets of bolts and get involved with future actions. Let’s SHUT IT DOWN. \nFrom the Petition to Shut Down Ghost Robotics: \nFounded in 2015 by two Penn graduate students Avik De and Gavin Kenneally\, Ghost Robotics designs\, manufactures\, and sells four-legged robot dogs known as “Vision 60” units to the US and Allied governments. The company operates out of Pennovation Center on Grays Ferry Avenue and has received initial support from Penn’s PCI Ventures. Furthermore\, the company receives significant tax breaks through Pennovation’s association with the Keystone Innovation Zone Tax Credit Program. The company routinely tests the robot dogs outdoors at Pennovation Works which has been witnessed and filmed by many community members. These remote-controlled robot dogs can be readily fitted with machine guns and drones and are marketed at military and defense conventions as outlined below. Ghost Robotics is currently the number one supplier of legged robots to US and Allied governments with 25+ national security contracts and more than 450+ units sold to date. The Department of Homeland Security has tested the Ghost Robotics’ robot dogs along the US-Mexico border.
