Remote Controlled Wheeled Mobile Robot for Humanitarian Demining Purposes

Abstract

There are millions of lethal land-mines that have been left in many countries after conflicts. They represent a particularly acute problem in developing countries and nations already economically hard hit by war. The problem of unexploded mines has become a serious international issue, with many people striving to find a solution. These mines kill or injure thousands individuals each year, most of them civilians. This paper will present an extended work on a wheeled mobile robot for humanitarian demining.
