(United24Media) Ukraine's conflict with Russia is marked by innovative AI and drone use in warfare, while landmine contamination poses severe threats, affecting 29% of the nation's land. With over 1,100 casualties, including civilians, mines continue to wreak havoc. Ukraine employs robotics and AI to expedite clearance efforts, aiming to rid the country of mines faster. However, challenges persist, especially on the frontline where deminers face risks from drones and untrained personnel.
Though UGVs offer promise, they're not foolproof solutions. The introduction of concepts like the British Centipede dragon signals ongoing efforts to enhance demining technologies. Despite risks, deminers persist in their crucial mission, aiming to reclaim safe land and rebuild communities in Ukraine.
