"Isn't all EOD done by robots?"

I was asked this question recently and the answer is "No". No single robot can answer all the field conditions an EOD team may face. Can it climb stairs? Can it be carried? Is it rugged enough to handle the demands of terrain? Can it pick up something heavy and not fall over? What sensors does it have?

At the same time some of the greatest developments in EOD in the past ten years have been in robotics. The UK, Canada, the U.S., and Germany are leading the way. This quick movie/slide show is an introduction and highlights some of the better known offers out there. In the upcoming weeks we'll supplement this with accessory info.
