EOD Light-Weight Mobile Manipulator Robot
by DIEHL BGT Defence
Protecting persons and infrastructure has taken on even greater significance in the recent past.
Using the latest technology, Diehl BGT Defence offers various protection and reconnaissance systems for persons as well as for infrastructure on land, sea and air.
EOD Light-Weight Mobile Manipulator Robot COBOLD M30
Ease of Use
Human capabilities of sensing and interacting with a distant environment are supported in an optimal way using novel remote control technologies. Stereo cameras moving synchronously with the operator's head (Head-Tracking) provide the operator with stereoscopic vision feedback of the distant environment into a Head-Mounted Display.
The manipulator arm is synchronized with the operator's hand movements enabling highly intuitive remote control and exact positioning of the end effector on the manipulator arm.
The manipulator robot arm has 5 axles and a two-fingered gripped as the standard end-effector; it can carry and position EOD disruption devices with manipulation ranges ~ 2.4 yds above ground level.
The position and orientation of the gripper follows the operator's hand using a tracking system and modern control techniques driving all axles simultaneously and automatically.
High Mobility
The high mobility and manoeuvrability produced by the 4x4 configuration, two steering axles and slant drive capability, enables operations in very confined and restricted spaces, such as in passenger aircraft, buses or trains.
