EUREL International Conference. The Detection of Abandoned Land Mines: A Humanitarian Imperative Seeking a Technical Solution, 1996
The author discusses the possibility of using mobile robot technology for demining. The financing for such research and a plan of action are outlined. The research on sensors is briefly outlined. The author then discusses the EPFL DeTeC project for a demining robot (Pemex-anti-personnel mine explorer). A test system is described.

Hand-held operational demining system
5th International Conference on Antenna Theory and Techniques, 2005., 2005The paper presents selected results from theoretical and experimental investigations concerned with radar backscattering from typical antipersonnel land mines (APL) in the frequency range of about 200 MHz to 8 GHz in order to improve the conventional metal detector demining technology presently still widely in use.

Humanitarian Demining Action Plan
2010The presence of landmines and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) in a place represents a major threat to civlian and affects the rebuilding process and the life of the people at that place. Hence, one of the fundamental goals of humanitarian demining is to detect and clear all forms of danger from infected areas efficiently, reliably and as safely and as ...

Multiagents Applied to Humanitarian Demining
2005The complexity associated to Humanitarian Demining becomes very high due to its broad set of activities, which beyond the already complex of landmine removal, includes other socio-economic supporting activities. Hence, more complex computer based supporting systems are required.
