Optimizing detector trials for humanitarian demining
SPIE Proceedings, 2004The performance of mine detecting instruments is embedded in the behavior of a complex system. The total reliability is always composed of the intrinsic physical detection capability of the sensor, application/environmental influences and human factors. The intrinsic capability and some application factors can be investigated in laboratory measurements.

Humanitarian Demining for International Stability
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2001Abstract One of the main tasks of SWIIS is the application of systems- and control engineering methods for international conflict resolution. In the past the classical approaches from control theory, simulation, decision making .... were used. Here a new idea - application of a very well known tool from production automation "advanced robots" - will ...

Dual Sensor “ALlS” for Humanitarian Demining
2018 17th International Conference on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), 2018ALIS is a handheld “Dual sensor” which is designed to be used for humanitarian demining. The ALIS system is compact and light weight which is less than 3.1kg, and can be used for more than 6 hours. ALIS is a dual sensor, which combines EMI (Electromagnetic Induction) sensor and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar).

New technologies in humanitarian demining operations
University as a Bridge from Technology to Society. IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (Cat. No.00CH37043), 2002Widely spread local war conflicts all over the world often involving non-regular (partisan) military units have resulted in intensive use of various types of mine. Mines are installed both in the soil and on its surface and represent a material threat to the peaceful population for a long period after the conflict has been terminated.

Robotic Applications in Humanitarian Demining
Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Challenging Environments, 2004Robotics provide a safe alternative to the extremely hazardous and labor-intensive Humanitarian Demining (HD) operations that are conducted manually. The need for safe and easy-to-operate systems to facilitate the detection and neutralization of landmines is being addressed through the design and development of a remotely operated system.

Needs for new tools in humanitarian demining
IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2000Humanitarian demining is interdisciplinary, encompassing subjects that span from Engineering, Chemistry, and Physics to the Social Sciences. Partners in this field are not only the suffering community and the deminers, but also researchers, industrial developers, Non Governmental Organisations, policymakers, etc.

A suspended device for humanitarian demining
EUREL International Conference. The Detection of Abandoned Land Mines: A Humanitarian Imperative Seeking a Technical Solution, 1996A device suspended from cables could provide safe access to a minefield for scanning with sensors or to detonate undetectable mines with a mechanical probe. Such a device could provide an economic and semi-automatic means for humanitarian demining, and has the potential for some local manufacture.

Improving the technology for humanitarian demining
EUREL International Conference. The Detection of Abandoned Land Mines: A Humanitarian Imperative Seeking a Technical Solution, 1996Land-mines may be the most toxic and widespread pollution facing mankind Land-mines are the weapons most consistently dangerous to noncombatants. They kill and maim soldiers and civilians alike, without preference. Many of the civilians killed or injured will be children. They can remain deadly for decades. The need for mine clearance is obvious.
