Modern bomb disposal robots are equipped with advanced autonomous navigation capabilities powered by SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. These systems enable robots to track their position within an environment while simultaneously generating detailed 3D maps in real-time. The robots can autonomously navigate complex terrains, avoid obstacles, and maintain stability on uneven surfaces. This autonomy allows operators to focus on the critical task of assessing explosive devices rather than managing basic robot movements.
