DYLEMA PROJECT: Efficient detection and location of antipersonnel landmines

Detection and removal of antipersonnel landmines is an important worldwide concern.  A huge number of landmines has been deployed over the last twenty years, and demining will take several more decades, even if no more mines were deployed in future.  An adequate mine-clearance rate can only be achieved by using new technologies such as improved sensors, efficient manipulators and mobile robots

DYLEMA project is aimed to develop a whole system to integrate relevant technologies in the fields of legged locomotion and sensor systems in order to identify which needs exist when the result is applied to humanitarian demining activities. 

DYLEMA project is broken down into five main subsystems:

• Sensor Head
• Manipulator
• Locator
• Walking robot
• Controller

This project is being funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Sciencie

under Grant DPI2001-1595 and DPI2004-05824
