Helen Greiner's New Company "The Droid Works" Building a Robot Plane

The amazing Helen Greiner, the co-founder and former chairman of iRobot (she's still on the board) told xconomy a couple months back about the plans for her new company, The Droid Works. According to xconomy, Greiner said she already has a team working on an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle for you nongeeks out there) but wouldn't go into details beyond that.

She obviously hasn't had much time yet to work out a decent logo, but love the name. Miss her!
At any rate, don't be surprised if she starts selling some stock to help fund her new venture. That also goes for Rodney Brooks, the other co-founder starting his own robot company, Heartland Robotics, which we hear is working on industrial robots. Heartland's web site is a little more advanced at this stage...

nothing wrong with that logo, imho.

Really? It looks to me like a road sign, not a cutting edge robotics company.
