The paper presents the requirements that should be met by remotely controlled mobile platforms participating in operations to eliminate the consequences of destructive events involving hazardous substances. In searching for the desired features of this type of robot, the authors modeled them on military robots used in missions to remove unexploded ordnance (UXO) and large improvised explosive devices (IEDs).In dynamic processes where the consequences of an event grow over time, the decisive factor for the success of a rescue operation is the time elapsed from the occurrence of the event to the initiation of rescue actions. The lack of equipment with appropriate mobility means that reaching the scene of the incident is significantly delayed and requires enormous physical effort, and assistance to victims and their evacuation from the danger zone is prolonged.
