Today’s service members are no less heroic because of the improvement in robotics,but with the devices working for them do the duties of both drawing fire and disarming explosive devices. All of these procedures helps not exposing humans to the dangers of any chemicals or injuries.

The typical ANDROS is more than $80,000, it’s usually between $150,000 and $230,000. Repairs and spare parts for the robot is a big issue. A typical repairable robot will be able to complete more than 1,000 missions.
The picture above and below show the mini-andros II at work diffusing a bomb found in a railroad track.
The pictures above show the many complex motions the mni-andros II can do.This robotic corps can wade through a foot of sewer water, climb stairs and rubble, find and defuse old bombs, and even identify a “false exhaust” in the undercarriage of a terrorist’s car. They can find their way out and neutralize biohazards, radiation, and explosive devices hidden in buildings, holes in the ground, wet concrete, and even in a pile of corpses.
