Robotics for Law Enforcement: Beyond Explosive Ordnance Disposal

Abstract

A web-based survey was conducted to establish law-enforcement robotics needs for applications that extend beyond explosive ordnance disposal. The survey addressed scenarios and tasks where a robot would be used, if available, and the tools, features, and parameters considered most important to carry out those tasks. This report presents survey results and summarizes current robotics research and development efforts by various segments of the Department of Defense that could potentially help meet those law-enforcement needs. The report also recommends a course of action for the Department of Justice to acquire these robotics capabilities.
