Roboteam adds Cleveland to board

Robotics company Roboteam North America said Tuesday it has appointed retired Army Lt. Gen. Charles Cleveland to its board of directors.

Earlier this month, Heidi Shyu, the former top Army acquisition official, was named chairman of the board. She had joined an advisory board for the company in 2016.

Cleveland, who retired from the service in 2015, previously served as commanding general of Army Special Operations Command. Roboteam said he "will provide direction on the advancement of tactical ground robotics as well as counsel the leadership team as they expand their customer footprint."
