    A tracked military/EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) robot is extending its articulated arm toward a wall of a building, with what appears to be a cylindrical object near the base of the wall. The scene is set in an arid, Middle Eastern-style environment with sandy terrain, dry vegetation, and tan-colored buildings in the background. The robot appears to be conducting an inspection or investigation of a suspicious object.

    The Army's explosive ordnance disposal robot, the "Talon", demostrates its ability to destroy improvised explosive device firing units without subjecting a Soldier to the danger of an explosion. The remote-controlled robot has several "eyes" as cameras to enable the operator to disarm an explosive from a control panel in the EOD vehicle. The robot is capable of destroying an IED by dismanteling the firing device.
