Explained in plain English
What are bomb disposal robots?
Bomb disposal robots, like the one used in Leipzig, are remotely operated vehicles designed to handle dangerous explosive devices. They allow experts to investigate and neutralise threats from a safe distance, reducing risk to human life. These robots are equipped with cameras, grippers, and sometimes even tools to disarm or detonate explosives safely.
