Abstract: In the past decade, robotic systems have been used with increased popularity for explosive ordnance (EOD) missions. Advances in robotic technology have made it possible for robots to per-form functions, previously only possible by human workers wearing a blast suit. The primary advantage to using robotic systems for explosive ordinance disposal is the reduced risk to humans. Currently, EOD robots are able to traverse a variety of terrain, collect and destroy certain explosives and provide improved reconnaissance capabilities to law enforcement and military agencies. Although far from perfected, these robots are saving lives by finding and disposing of explosives without the need for direct human contact reliable robotic platform. The key features of the robot include a hand gesture interface which provides additional sensor feedback and enhanced visual awareness compared to existing systems, an on-board three degree of freedom manipulator arm providing an enlarged workspace, and a dexterous gripper allowing for the removal of detonators. The flexible and modular robot design utilizes commercial off the shelf components for ease of maintenance and repairs. The robot provides a safe distance threat assessment and increased capacity for explosive ordinance disposal, improving the effectiveness of bomb disposal teams. The robots low-cost, hand gesture operation and ease-of-maintenance promote its widespread appeal, thereby saving the lives of both law enforcement personnel and civilians. Robot will detect the position of the bomb by using GPS module. The user just needs to wear a gesture device which includes a sensor. The sensor will record the movement of the hand in a specific direction
