Design and Evaluation of AX-Deminer Forearm Assistance for Demining Soldier
IEEE Access, 2023 Mine clearance operation using a mine detector often strains arm muscles because of the extended form of the detection pole. Implementing a gravity compensation device may be beneficial for alleviating this issue. Therefore, this paper presents a novel concept of passive-type forearm assistance for mine-detection soldiers.

Multisensor Demining Robot [PDF]
Autonomous Robots, 2005 The paper describes an advanced multisensor demining robot. The robot transport system is based on a simple structure using pneumatic drive elements. The robot has robust design and can carry demining equipment up to 100 kg over rough terrains. Due to the adaptive possibilities of pedipulators to obstacles, the robot can adjust the working position of ...

Eliminating Hidden Killers: How Can Technology Help Humanitarian Demining?
Stability : International Journal of Security and Development, 2019 Despite twenty-first-century technological advances by Western militaries for demining and the removal of improvised explosive devices, humanitarian demining relies mostly on mid-twentieth-century technology. While international legal efforts to curb the
