The Modular Disposal Teleoperated robot (MDT Robot) can replace man to recognise, and remove explosive bombs or other unknown articles in a dangerous environment. The design is modular, with modules comprising of a platform mobile vehicle, an articulated mechanical arm, a teleoperated control system, vision system and a wireless communications system. The MDT Robot is developed to provide 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 uses several commonly available recycled industrial parts to produce a very low cost disposable robot whose loss can be easily accepted.
