Abstract
The search for buried landmines is currently a tedious and dangerous process, performed by hand to ensure the high degree of reliability required for reputable land recovery. An experimental class at MIT spent one semester working to develop new tools to increase the rate of manual landmine removal. By redefining the problem statement to address the results of a time/motion analysis, rather than directly addressing the landmine problem itself, the class conceived three new tools that use existing technologies in novel ways to increase the rate of the location and neutralization of hidden anti-personnel mines.
