Abstract

The explosive bomb deactivator robot (LOCO-EBD Robot) can replace man to recognize, remove and deal with explosive bombs or other dangerous articles in a dangerous environment. The design is composed of a platform mobile vehicle, an articulated mechanical arm, a tele-operated control system, vision system and a wireless communications system. The LOCO-ERD Robot is developed to replace a human deactivator with high manoeuvrability and strong capacity to defeat obstacles, stairs, etc. It can be used in urban areas and in wild environments of sand, grass and soft soil, etc. The robot design enables a very low cost robot to be constructed and uses several commonly available industrial recycled parts to further reduce costs.
