Demining robot

A large demining robot
A small demining robot

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

Uran-6

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

MV-4 Dok-Ing is a demining robot model used by Republic of Croatia.[5][6]
