Topic:
A robotic apparatus equipped with ultrasonic probes and other instrumentation has been proposed to reduce the danger and cost and increase the speed of searching for land mines. The apparatus would implement modified versions of the proven techniques used by human searchers (delicately probing for, and excavating around, suspected objects) aided by dogs trained to sniff out explosives.
