DRDO Daksh
Daksh is an electrically powered and remotely controlled robot used for locating, handling and destroying hazardous objects safely.[1]

  •  It is a battery-operated robot on wheels and its primary role is to recover bombs.
  • It locates bombs with an X-ray machine, picks them up with a gripper-arm and defuses them with a jet of water.
  •  It has a shotgun, which can break open locked doors, and it can scan cars for explosives.
  • Daksh can also climb staircases, negotiate steep slopes, navigate narrow corridors and tow vehicles.
  • With a master control station (MCS), it can be remotely controlled over a range of 500 m in line of sight or within buildings. Ninety per cent of the robot’s components are indigenous. The Army has placed orders for 20 Dakshs
