Cobham Unmanned Systems EOD Robots

The most important thing we build is trust

Our Mission

To develop machines, equipment and systems that PROTECT OR REPLACE HUMAN BEINGS in situations where their presence would be either impossible or place them at great risk. This is our motto, motivation and mission since 1994.

The EOD Robot tEODor

Distance means safety. This basic rule with regard to disarming explosive devices means that bomb disposal officers increasingly prefer EOD robots as their tool of choice.

The telerob Explosive Ordnance Disposal and observation robot sets the standard worldwide. Robust, reliable and flexible in use, the innovative bomb disposal system provides a maximum degree of safety and protection. More than 450 units in 41 countries help daily to prevent harm to people and the environment. A total of 20 NATO countries place their trust in the superior reliability of the most widely sold EOD robot of recent years.

Vehicle Operation:

The basic vehicle is designed as a twin-track vehicle with sprung rollers, offering excellent maneuverability on open ground and the ability to climb angles up to 45°. The robust steel track links are easily replaceable. High-torque drive units with continuous 4-quadrant control allow for precise operation of both the vehicle and the manipulator. Safety brakes automatically engage on slopes. The manipulator is a 6-axis unit with a 2,860 mm reach and a 100 kg payload capacity. Slipping clutches protect the manipulator axes. A unique feature is the linear axis in the lower arm, simplifying linear movements and investigation under vehicles. Routine activities like tool changes or folding can be automated.

Control and Communication:

The robot can be controlled via radio or a 200 m fiber optic cable using a special data protocol for secure, error-free operation. Important vehicle data is displayed on the control panel. A built-in diagnostic system with remote maintenance capability aids troubleshooting. The standard vision system includes two drive cameras, one overview camera, and one gripper camera, with options for stereo, night vision, or infrared cameras. The control station is a mobile operations control center with its own power supply and a large TFT monitor. The compact control panel can also be operated separately.

The EOD Robot telemax

Sometimes less is more. This principle applies especially when working in confined spaces. The telemax is designed for situations where the larger tEODor robot cannot be used, providing essential distance between the bomb disposal engineer and the explosive device in aircraft, subways, buses, and other public transport.

Chassis and Control:

The telemax features a four-track running gear for superior mobility, capable of handling 45° gradients and 500 mm obstacles. The individually suspended track units are controlled by 2DRIVE technology, allowing flexible configurations. An intelligent controller simplifies operation, especially in tricky situations, with inclination sensors ensuring balance. The high-speed version reaches 10 km/h. The control panel is laptop-format with an ergonomically designed joystick for vehicle and manipulator movement. A touch screen provides direct system communication. The user interface adapts to current needs. Up to six color cameras can be displayed on a fold-out 10.4" LCD monitor, with a picture-in-picture function for simultaneous viewing from two perspectives. The control panel and transmission unit are housed in a robust trolley for easy setup.

Manipulator and Tooling:

The telemax utilizes a revolutionary TCP (Tool Center Point) controller, allowing the gripper to be positioned freely in space via simultaneous joystick movements. This saves the operator valuable time, especially in complex approaches. The integrated robot controller is programmable, allowing routine movements to be taught, saved, and recalled. The telemax is the only vehicle in its class with two tool magazines integrated into the chassis, enabling the transport of two additional tools or firing systems. The manipulator can automatically select these tools with the press of a button.

High Reach in Aircraft:

Designed for aircraft use, the telemax's 400 mm width allows it to fit into any aisle. Its height-adjustable running gear and telescope can reach overhead compartments in aircraft like the Boeing 747. It can also navigate steep passenger staircases.

Diagnostic System and Firing System:

The controller offers a diagnostic system to display various system states via a laptop, enabling quick error location and remedy. A self-test is performed upon startup. The Li-ion batteries comply with IATA transport guidelines. The firing system ensures safety through coded firing processes, preventing unauthorized use and ensuring operation only under specified conditions. Resistance measurement of the firing circuit adds functional safety. All firing devices and weapons have been rigorously tested for system compatibility.

The Service Robot NBCmax

Not only bomb disposal engineers are exposed to hazards. Rescue forces and first responders, including fire services and technical rescue specialists, increasingly face situations involving extreme personal danger, particularly those involving hazardous materials, toxic substances, or biologically harmful materials.

Cobham has developed an unmanned system, the NBCmax service robot, for these response forces. It allows them to inspect and deal with hazards from a safe distance. The NBCmax is a universal mobile sensor platform that can be equipped with a broad palette of sensors to detect and investigate chemical, biological, explosive, or toxic substances. Collected data, from gas concentration to gamma radiation and explosives detection, is transmitted online to the robot's control panel for operator processing.

A key feature is the sample-taking system, consisting of a magazine with up to five containers. The robot automatically opens a container, takes a sample, closes the container, and can proceed to the next. This allows critical material samples to be collected from a safe distance for subsequent investigation.
