Scorpion EOD for The Big Jobs
Isreali police forces have recently used the Explosive Ordinance Disposal, EOD, robot Scorpion to dispose of a hidden bomb.
The Scorpion is from Autonomous Solutions, Inc of Utah. It is made from a modified Bobcat excavator with ASI's command and control brains.
Six Scorpions were delivered to Isreali police in 2006 and this is their first success on active duty.
The large size of the EOD robot makes it unique in the growing family of bomb disposal robots.
According to ASI:
The Scorpion's size, strength, and its ability to cut through steel introduces new capabilities which are changing the way the Israeli Police plan and execute their explosive ordnance disposal operations.

To be completely accurate in the above post, those robots did not come from "ASI." Those robots delivered to the Isreali police came from Remotec. ASI was a subcontractor of Remotec and ASI did do a significant amount of the work, but to claim them as the sole source is simply not correct.
