Drone technology combined with AI is revolutionizing landmine clearance, making it faster, safer, and more cost-effective while overcoming challenges of accuracy and terrain limitations.

The beginning process of designing a specialized robot is just a brainstorming session ... move away and trigger deactivation. The landmine will be finished without a living being coming close to it. ...

LeoTronics Robotics Launches Landmine Detecting Robot and Invites Investors to Join ... a dual-sensor search head that contains a metal detector (MD) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR).

Nemitz’s lab is also developing applications for these robots in landmine removal and tracking glacial changes. The findings were published in the journal Nature Communications.

“This project marks a breakthrough in the field of landmine detection,” said Gideon Lapidoth ... Detecting and removing them remains a dangerous business, despite attempts to use robots, drones, dogs ...

Current landmine detection mostly relies on handheld metal detectors, a technique that is dangerous and time-consuming, Aranchuk said. Metal detectors and ground-penetrating radar are not ...

Landmine detection and disarmament using existing technology is expensive, both in terms of money and time. For example, while planting a single mine may cost as little as $30, getting rid of it ...

It’s crucial work. An estimated 110 million landmines are still buried in over 60 countries around the world, said landmine detection nonprofit APOPO. In 2023, landmines caused 5,757 casualties ...
