Abstract

Humanitarian demining, the peaceful and non-explosive de-mining strategies, has been gaining worldwide acceptance lately. As the series of humanitarian demining, tele-operated mine detecting robot system was developed. This paper presents unique demining strategy of the demining robot system. There are two developed system called MIDERS-1 and MIDERS-2. The system is consisted of rough terrain mobile platform, multi degree of freedom manipulator, and the all-in-one mine detecting sensor module between ground penetrating radar and metal detector. We have focused that our cooperative demining procedure between the macroscopic and microscopic demining enhances the conventional human demining. With proposed methodology, the hardware configurations and functions are described.
