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.
