The most recent generation of EOD robots boasts innovative modular arm systems that may be quickly rearranged for various duties. With up to nine degrees of freedom, these arms provide until unheard-of dexterity that enables them to negotiate challenging environments and precisely handle objects almost humanly. From delicate cutting tools to heavy-duty grippers, the quick-change capacity lets operators replace between several end effectors in seconds without having the robot return to base. This adaptability has come rather handy when several tools are required to neutralise a single threat.
