This repository contains a Proof of Concept (PoC) mechanical design for a remote-controlled Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robot.
The project focuses on the mechanical architecture and CAD models, forming a foundation for a future fully functional robotic system.
This repository includes:
- Mechanical design (CAD models)
- Structural concept of tracked robotic platform
- Robotic manipulator (arm + gripper)
- Base chassis architecture
This is an early-stage engineering artifact intended for:
- Demonstration
- Further development
- Integration into larger robotics systems
The full system is designed to include:
- Tracked mobile platform
- Multi-axis robotic arm
- Modular tool attachments
- Embedded control system
- Power management
- Sensor integration (cameras, status monitoring)
- Teleoperation system
- Video streaming
- Control interface
- Future autonomy extensions
All electronics, navigation, and software components are planned to be:
- Adapted from the OpenAMR platform
- Reused and extended for EOD-specific use cases
- Integrated into this mechanical platform in future stages
Note: Significant adaptation and engineering work will be required to achieve a fully operational system.
- Tracked platform for rough terrain
- Operation on sand, gravel, grass, and uneven surfaces
- Ability to overcome obstacles and climb stairs
- Zero turning radius
- Operating temperature: -30°C to +50°C
- Outdoor operation up to 500 m control range
- Operation in rain, snow, and harsh environments
- Multi-axis robotic arm
- Vertical reach: ~60 cm
- Horizontal reach: ~55 cm
- Lifting capacity: 3–10 kg
- Gripper with rotational capability
- Multiple cameras (front, rear, arm-mounted)
- Remote control (wireless + cable for jammed environments)
- Real-time monitoring via control unit

This repository represents a mechanical Proof of Concept only.
A complete EOD robotic system requires a multidisciplinary approach including:
- Embedded systems development
- Electrical engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- System integration and testing
This repository represents only the mechanical foundation of such a system.
Planned next steps include:
- Integration with OpenAMR electronics stack
- Development of control software and UI
- Camera and sensor integration
- Field testing and validation
- Tool attachments (cutting tools, probes, etc.)
- Expansion into a fully operational EOD platform
- Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD)
- Hazardous object manipulation
- Remote inspection
- Industrial safety applications
- Research and development
- This project is published as an open development artifact
- It is not a finished product
- It requires significant engineering effort for real-world deployment
