“…More importantly, some high-tech robots can be used to save lives by operating many perilous tasks which are risky for humans to do. These robots are known as "Bomb Disposal Robots" or "Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robots" [10][11][12][13], which has been widely used in military services and many dangerous environments for emergency rescue support, bomb disposal, tactical operations, surveillance, etc. to inspect for suspicious packages and neutralize munitions or bombs if needed [14][15][16].…”

“…This initial Wheelbarrow EOD robot was invented in 1972 by Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Miller [39][40]. Many other types of robot technology have evolved in bomb-response operations [41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Robots have emerged with widely different capabilities and come equipped with pincers, disruptors, and jammers capable of dealing with many types of IEDs.…”

<div>Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) have been developed over the years across many nations around the world. IEDs used by terrorist actions and in warfare cause devastating death, injuries and damage. To protect the public, many emergency responders have to risk their lives by performing extremely hazardous tasks such as interacting with suspected IEDs. To prevent the emergency response teams from being negatively impacted by IEDs, many different kinds of response robots have been deployed in many locations worldwide – allowing first responders a safe way to interact with these menaces from a distance. This thesis contributes to the understanding of using robot arms with a Leader–Follower (LF) approach to help humans with performing dexterous operations like those which are inevitably required for manipulating IEDs remotely. The LF approach allows operators to remotely manipulate a robot arm without putting operators’ lives in danger. By physically controlling one arm from a safe distance, operators can successfully copy its movements to a second arm. As a result, we argue, this approach can be helpful for minimizing operator risk when interacting with suspicious devices while at the same time facilitating more intuitive remote control.</div>
