EOD Robot | |||||||||||
Bomb-disposal, or explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), robots are one of the many tools a technician might use to disarm dangerous weapons. Besides the human cost of losing a bomb technician in the field, training a bomb-disposal officer is significantly more expensive than buying an EOD robot. As a result, maintaining a safe distance from a potential bomb is of paramount importance and only in extreme situations will the technician enter the blast range and put their hands on the device themselves. It's equipped with an arm-like manipulator, sensors and a camera on a boom for enabling the operator to remotely disarm ordnance and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
