Can Future Inventions Include Robots to Defuse Bombs?

Today, there are many different types of robots, robots that help clean garbage, robots that assist humans with daily tasks, and robots that can talk to you and even show “emotion”. In this post I want to discuss the possible future inventions regarding robots and my time serving in the military. During my time in the military, I found that defusing and disposing of live explosives (bombs) is an extremely dangerous task. With all the different concerns regarding terrorism and war, it makes you wonder if robots will be helping us on the battlefield or in the line of duty in the future. One of the possible future inventions that can help soldiers in the line of duty is bomb defusing robots, which can locate, defuse and dispose of dangerous, live explosives. At the moment, such robots do not exist; only ones which are remotely controlled to navigate and locate a bomb, and then defuse it using surgeon-like human controls, from a safe location away from the threat. In war there are many unnecessary casualties, and future inventions- like these bomb defusing robots- are ones that can help save lives. What inventions do you know of that help save lives?
