About Minesweepers - Towards a Landmine-free World
The first international competition that aims at raising public awareness of the seriousness of landmines and unexploded ordnances (UXOs) contamination, fostering robotics research and its applications in the area of humanitarian demining in the world and actively contributing toward the achievement some of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by UN Member States.
The ultimate goal of the Minesweepers competition is applying robotics technology to solve landmines problems, which matches with the new strategic mission of IEEE, “…to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity”.
To serve as an educational and research forum to provide efficient, reliable, adaptive and cost-effective solutions for the serious problem of humanitarian demining in many affected countries in the world, the competition motivates the participants to create new companies and industries geared towards minefield reconnaissance and mapping technologies.
Moreover, the applicability of the robotic systems presented in this competition can be extended to a wide range of other applications such as security and surveillance, search and rescue, health monitoring of civil infrastructure, pipeline monitoring, and environment monitoring.
In this competition, each participating team constructs a teleoperated/autonomous unmanned ground/aerial vehicle that must be able to search for buried and surface-laid anti-personnel landmines and UXOs. The position and the type of each detected object are visualized and overlaid on a minefield map.
