China's homegrown anti-terrorism robots used for public security purposes are shown to the public at the World Robot Conference 2015 (WRC 2015).

The anti-terrorism robot complex, developed by Harbin Institute of Technology Robot Group (HRG), consists of a detective robot, a small explosive ordnance disposal (EOD ) robot, and an armed combat robot.

The detective robot can travel through all kinds of mountainous areas and dangerous landforms and send timely information in the form of text, picture and audio.

The small EOD robot, equipped with unique mechanical arms, can carry objects weighing 6 to 30 kilograms, walk 3 meters under water and even work in rainy weather.

The armed combat robot is designed for protective work. Its front arm can be equipped with firearms.

All the three robots can be remotely controlled both wireless and wired and can assist police and armed police force in performing anti-terrorism tasks, said Jian Lei, an engineer at the conference.

These robots can be also used in fire-fighting works and maritime environment, Jian added.

"Core technology of these special robots is independently developed by China," Jian said.

HRG brings more than 10 types of robots and smart equipment to the conference.

WRC 2015 is the first international robotic conference held in China, sponsored by China Association for Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and Beijing Municipal Government. Over 200 domestic and foreign enterprises, research institutes, universities and colleges in robotic field displayed their latest innovative products on the conference.
