A demining robot is a robotic land vehicle that is designed for detecting the exact location of land mines and clearing them.[ citation needed ] Demining by conventional methods can be costly and dangerous for people. [1] Environments that are dull or dirty,[ clarification needed ] or otherwise dangerous to humans, may be well-suited for the use of demining robots. [2]
