  • Abstract
    When the war is finished, the unexploded mines continue to kill or injure individuals, most of them civilians. These mines represent a particularly acute problem in developing countries, problem that has become a very serious international issue, with many people striving to find a solution. This paper will discuss the use of robotic systems for humanitarian demining purposes.
