Landmines - A World Wide Problem
No
one believes that civilians
should suffer from landmine explosions. Every
year there are more than 24,000 people involved in landmine related
incidents, of which around 10,000 are killed, 90% of these victims are
ordinary civilians. Among these, 30-40% are children
under 15. It costs
approximately 20 times more to
remove
a landmine than to plant it.
Humantarian
demining is an expensive and dangerous job.
What is C-mos?
C-Mos,
Computerised Mine Observation System, is an
autonomus
robot assistant
for mine detection.
Our aim with C-mos is to provide a low cost mine detection assistant for humanitarian demining. It is designed to be easy to use, have a better detection rate than the most common mine detectors and work long side with the SOP, Standard Operation Procedure. Our robot would reduce the amount of time a deminer work on hazardous ground.

This
project would be able to help
return land to local people who are unfortunately living in a dangerous
area,
improving their economic situation by developing the land for farms or
construction use. Explore our website to learn more about this project
