The Digger Foundation team participated to the "Robotics awards for Good" competition held in Dubai in mid-February of this year. They presented the project "DOME", a system for the demining of urban areas, for which they achieved the 6th position out of 1300 teams from 150 countries selected.
This system works on the combination between a demining dog for the search for explosives and the use of remote-controlled construction machinery to release them.
As the electronic manufacturing supplier of this project, we are very proud we brought our contribution to this demining system. We are in collaboration with the engineers of the Digger Foundation for the miniaturization and manufacturing of an electronic module including GPS, Video and Sound functions. This module is embedded in the harness of the demining dog.
