Abstract: : In this paper, we present the development of an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) rover, which has become crucial in modern military and civilian defense operations to mitigate the risks associated with handling hazardous explosives. This project focuses on designing and implementing a human-controlled rover capable of safely disposing of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Equipped with advanced sensors such as live-streaming cameras and metal detectors, the rover enables technicians to defuse explosive materials especially (IEDs) from a safe distance, protecting their lives while allowing real-time communication for remote operation in hazardous environments. Leveraging intelligent algorithms and Raspberry Pi technology, the rover analyzes sensor data in real-time to ensure accurate identification of potential threats. Additionally, it features a manipulator arm or robotic gripper to safely handle and dispose of detected explosives, minimizing risks to human operators. The project also prioritizes the development of a user-friendly interface to facilitate the remote operation and monitoring of the rover, ensuring operator safety. Overall, this research enhances the capabilities of EOD teams by providing a sophisticated robotic platform for addressing the challenges of explosive threat detection and disposal in various operational settings
