Such robots can clear hard-to-reach places at a great distance from people.
One of russia's worst crimes in Ukraine is the laying of millions of mines. I visited areas near the front line where people have to take risks to help Ukrainians return to their homes. Thanks to these robots, it is possible to safely disarm mines and save lives
