Description

To demonstrate the feasibility of the combined use of ground and airborne robotics in the detection and deactivation of IEDs through the use of a common interface. In particular, the following four objectives will be demonstrated:

– To achieve an agile deployment of both vehicles coordinated from the mother vehicle carrying them integrated in a convoy.

– Aerial geolocation (UAV) of the IED through the combined use of optical sensors, GPS and Artificial Intelligence.
