Landmine Robots

Asahi has just posted an article about the use of machines in the clearance of mine-fields; Robots Poised for Pivotal Role in Landmine Clearance. Though you may find the reasons for using robots obvious, this feature has a few arguments and statistics to back that up. COMET 3, a six-legged robot capable of such a task, is then discussed. This is part of a global effort aiming to apply robotics to reduce the fatalities caused by landmines. A noble goal indeed.
