Robotic mine removal device

Demining robot is a robotic land vehicle that is designed for detecting and clearing land mines.[citation needed] Demining robots are designed for spotting the exact location of land mines. Practicing demining without demining robot can be costly and dangerous for people,[1] especially if the environment is dull or dirty, or otherwise dangerous to humans, it is then very well-suited for 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]
