Abstract : The United States has made significant progress in halting the proliferation of land mines and in demining twenty-five of the world's most land mine-threatened countries. U.S. policy of controlling land mines and promoting humanitarian demining remains consistent with the integrated strategic approach promulgated through the slogan "Shape ...

Technology transfer in humanitarian demining
Second International Conference on Detection of Abandoned Land Mines, 1998Humanitarian demining efforts still rely almost exclusively on metal detectors, dogs and manual probing. Why are technology improvements so few and far between? Perhaps more money is being spent on research aimed (in part) at developing new technology to eliminate landmines than is actually been spent on mine clearance operations world-wide. This paper

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 ...

Technological Innovation in Humanitarian Demining
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1998There are about 100 million mines emplaced in over 60 countries world-wide that will kill or maim about 30,000 persons annually. Current methods of humanitarian demining are extremely slow, dangerous, and expensive. This has led to a set of new technologies applied to humanitarian demining. This paper describes the most promising ones.

Unmanned Helicopters Applied to Humanitarian Demining
2005 IEEE Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation, 2006This article covers research work about unmanned helicopters that is being developed by the Portuguese SME Introsys, S.A. in the context of a generic project targeting the development of a multi-robot system for landmine detection. As helicopters are complex multivariable nonlinear underactuated systems with strong coupling in some control loops, they ...

Robots for Humanitarian Demining
2004“Humanitarian demining”, is growing up dramatically in the last decade. Here a new idea — application of a very well known tool from production automation “advanced robots” - will be presented. These robots of the new generation offer possibilities to solve this task in a very efficient way.
