After having been hit 242 times by Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) in 2008, India will now have its first indigenously developed IED-handling robot, thanks to the scientists at the Defence Research Development
Organisation (DRDO).
This remote-operated vehicle (ROV), aptly named ‘Daksh’, can handle any suspected object in any terrain and in all kinds of weather. It can move on rugged platforms, on stairs, outdoor terrain in the country side and can cross even a 300-metre wide ditch with ease.
