Check Out EOD's New, One-of-a-Kind Robot
 
Military.com 15 May 2018 By Oriana Pawlyk

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Florida -- Explosive ordnance disposal technicians here are working with a custom-made, next-generation robot that will pick apart bombs and study them.

Brokk -- a Frankenstein's monster of sorts with pieces of high-tech ordnance disposal machinery, as well as large construction demolition mechanics -- replaces 20-year-old "Stewie," the previous EOD robot.

Brokk is a construction company machine with many adaptations.  The EOD unit sits on the arm of the basic construction machine.
