Silent Sam the signaling robot saves construction costs
In Baltimore and Washington, D.C., a life sized signaling robot named Silent Sam aids highway safety. It stands seven and a half feet, waves a red flag, and is praised for visibility and cost savings, though some unions resist replacing workers. The device costs about $1,000 and can quickly pay for itself while supplementing flag crews.
