Improvised explosive device defeat system
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a robot system, comprising:
- controlling a movement of a macro robotic arm to move a vehicle from a first position to a second different position within a space, the macro robotic arm having (a) a proximal end coupled to a structure for sheltering an operator, (b) a distal end coupled to the vehicle, and (c) a first set of articulating joints and a macro control unit in a first system state responsive to a user manipulation of a control interface grip in a plurality of directions; and
controlling a movement of a micro robotic arm of the vehicle, the micro robotic arm (a) distinct from the macro robotic arm and (b) having a second set of articulating joints and a micro control unit in a second system state responsive to a user manipulation of said control interface grip in said plurality of directions.

Abstract
A robot system (50) includes a control system (101) having a control interface grip (102). The robot system includes a macro robotic arm (54) and a micro robotic arm (60). The robot system is arranged such that the macro robotic arm will respond, in a first control system state, to movement of the control interface grip. In particular, the macro robotic arm will move in a plurality of directions responsive to corresponding movement of the interface grip. The micro robotic arm will respond, in a second control system state, to movement of the control interface grip. In particular, the micro robotic arm will move in a plurality of directions responsive to corresponding movement of the interface grip.
