The invention relates to a separating type explosive-handling robot which comprises a driving compartment and a driven compartment. The driving compartment and the driven compartment are magneticallyconnected through an electromagnetic chuck; the driving compartment comprises a car body, a mechanical arm and an infrared scanner; the driven compartment comprises mechanical arms, manipulators, a compartment, pulleys fixed to the bottom part of the compartment, two groups of first slide rails fixed onto the compartment, two first slide blocks connected with the first slide rails in a matching way, second slide rails perpendicular to the first slide rails and fixed onto the two first slide blocks, and second slide blocks connected with the second slide rails in a matching way; the mechanicalarms are fixed onto the second slide blocks; and the manipulators are arranged at the tail ends of the mechanical arms. According to the separating type explosive-handling robot provided by the invention, the driving compartment and the driven compartment are magnetically connected through the electromagnetic chuck so as to be capable of being separated at any time and working simultaneously, so that the separating type explosive-handling robot is simple to operate and convenient to use.
