Demining robot
Appearance
A demining robot is a robotic land vehicle that is designed for detecting the exact location of land mines and clearing them.[citation needed] Demining by conventional methods can be costly and dangerous for people.[1] Environments that are dull or dirty,[clarification needed] or otherwise dangerous to humans, may be well-suited for the use of demining robots.[2]
Models
[edit]Uran-6
[edit]Uran-6 is a demining robot model used by Russian Federation[3] in Syria and Ukraine.[4] The Uran-6 is a short-range and remotely piloted robot.[4] Limitations of this robot include the need for human operators to be within a few hundred feet.[4]
MV-4 Dok-Ing
[edit]MV-4 Dok-Ing is a demining robot model used by Republic of Croatia.[5][6]
