RE2, Inc to Develop DMS for U.S. Navy

Many of the manipulators currently available for EOD robotic platforms cannot adequately manipulate small items commonly found in improvised explosive devices, such as wires and blasting caps. These current manipulators are limited because of the small number of degrees of freedom available and the primitive joint-by-joint control that is predominantly used. They also are limited because the operator does not receive any feedback on the amount of force the manipulator is applying, making it difficult to hold sensitive items without dropping or damaging them.
