Robots for the dangerous tasks

Abstract

Last December a meeting of the SILVER Robotics Special Interest Group was held at the Land Systems Section of DERA at Chertsey, UK, and addressed the subject of robotics in military and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) applications. Presentations speculated on the future of intelligent vehicles; battlefield engineering and robotics; the RAVEN explosive ordnance disposal system; stereo vision and virtual reality for robotics; and three papers on explosive ordnance disposal. During the lunch break there was a demonstration of some of the systems reviewed at the meeting.
