title = "Robotics and Remote Sensing for Humanitarian Mine Action & ERW Survey (RRS-HMA)",
abstract = "A number of initiatives have been undertaken using robotics and remote sensing in the humanitarian mine action (HMA) sector over recent years. A new consortium of specialists from space and robotics sectors in the United Kingdom (UK) has been formed to determine how to build upon previous knowledge, in taking robotics and remote sensing to the next level in HMA. Focussing on de-risking and applying novel technological solutions to surveying activities. This paper provides an overview of the consortium{\textquoteright}s proposed strategy and objectives for tackling the current challenges in HMA as well as a brief overview of relevant technologies. The paper shall also outline the objectives of an on-going GCRF funded project, whose outcomes shall lay the foundation for future technological developments and field demonstrations. ",
