Abstract (en)

A robot for exploding land mines buried under the ground in an unmanned manner. The robot works to safely and reliably explode the land mines independently of the laid form of a mine field. Two frames (11, 11) of a cylindrical shape are rotatably and coaxially coupled together to constitute an outer frame (10). Inside the outer frame (10) is provided a main body (20) for running the outer frame (10) by rotating the frames (11, 11) independently of each other. Guide bars (40) extending back and forth in the direction in which the outer frame (10) runs are attached to the side surfaces of the main body (20). On the outer peripheral surfaces of the frames (11, 11) are mounted a plurality of contacts (30, 30), made of a flexible material and radially extending from a plurality of places on the outer peripheral surface. At the time of climbing a hill, the rear ends of the guide bars (40) come in contact with the surface of the ground, and the hill-climbing ability increases. When passing over dents, the contacts (30, 30) come in contact with the surface of the ground, and no land mine remains untouched. <IMAGE>
