EOD Robot Arm: Bomb-Disposal Manipulator Kinematics

Law-enforcement bomb squads never approach a suspect device by hand — a tracked robot with a multi-joint manipulator arm does it instead. This simulator models the real kinematics of that arm: a rotating turret aligns to the target's bearing, an analytic 2-link inverse-kinematics solver computes the shoulder and elbow angles needed to reach a device at any distance and the wrist auto-levels the claw, and a proportional force-feedback loop closes the gripper toward an operator-chosen clamp force instead of slamming shut — the same care a real EOD operator takes to avoid triggering a pressure-sensitive fuze. Drag the target's distance and bearing, dial in a safe grip force, then run the approach-and-grasp sequence and watch the joint angles, reach error and live grip force update in real time.
