Veteran Mike LeBlanc is doing what he can to help people with similar military backgrounds get and keep jobs.

"Our principal product is a robot that is decked out with all kinds of sensors, so 360 degree cameras, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, microphones," said LeBlanc. He served three tours, including two combat tours, as a Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer. "They've seen things that almost nobody else has to see and when they come back into the civilian world, they have to deal with that," said LeBlanc. "But at Cobalt, rather than looking at that with fear, having them treat that like it's a problem, we treat that as a superpower.""When we have marines and soldiers and sailors come here, we have the same expectations that we would have of them that we would in a combat situation," said LeBlanc.
