Demining robot
_01.webp?lang=en)
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] Some manufacturers test and inspect rigorously before releasing demining robots for service.[3]
Models
Uran-6
Uran-6 is a demining robot model used by Russian Federation[4] in Syria and Ukraine.[5] The Uran-6 is a short-range and remotely piloted robot.[5] Limitations of this robot include the need for human operators to be within a few hundred feet.[5]
MV-4 Dok-Ing
MV-4 Dok-Ing is a demining robot model used by Republic of Croatia.[6][7]
