Abstract:
The robot mine clearing, based on cheap
farming equipment, aims at transforming the terrorist antipersonnel
mine into useless practice, after that the land
reclamation is readily fulfilled by standard means. The paper
addresses the following lines: • to conceive and implement lowcost
robotic equipment, assuring effective, safe and reliable
demining; • to allow simple equipment integration, with resort
to low-cost and widely available agricultural fixtures; • to
provide the basis for on-duty assessment and training
assistance by alarm (warning, emergency) effective
management; • to make easier the operators groundwork,
involved in self-learning and up-grading duties. The mixedmode
automation, through remote-steered robotic effectors,
grants balanced resources use on the strategic, tactical and
execution horizons.
